Nice photos barring two errors. (i) The bald patch on my head. (ii) That isn't a lawn mower its a Gator, a buggy to get my fat arse around the grounds.
I really enjoyed myself and think everyone else did too. It was so nice to put faces to names. The BBQ was great, loads of grub and all the dogs enjoyed the left-overs.
The Birthday meal we had on the Friday in the Beetle & Wedge for Chris's wife Kay was superb prompting her to say she wants a forum rally every year on her birthday. His 12 year old daughter was practising being married on me, nagging me something awful for being a smoker.
I am still awaiting a public apology from Brendan . The Farmer who owns all the river bank on the other side was absolutely legless due to him, in fact the following morning I got a call from his wife... he never got home.

Thanks again Byron for being a superb host, it was an extremely enjoyable weekend. The Beetle night and the BBq were both superb with great company.
Last I saw of your farmer he was off to fetch a bottle of whiskey, just as well he didn't return as my head was all over the place in the morning, couldn't get off the boat without getting land sickness
