The Club is now Open
Good evening and welcome everyone.
How wonderful it is to return to dear old Blighty after a short sojourn in foreign parts.
Lordalex and I have had a restful holiday but we are always glad to return home to roost in our own home which has been so lovingly looked after by our ancient retainers.
The wine cellar seems a little depleted, but worry not, dear friends, we are expecting a new shipment very soon, so no need to hold back on the tailcocks.
I do hope that all went well during our absence and that there were no incidents involving the emergency services. (I have not had time to access the minute book.)
We have brought back with us several treats for the raffle:
A string of garlic
A stripey jersey
A beret
A tin of escargots (within date)
I look forward to tonight's talk, which I believe to be entitled :
'Lancashire Peelers, what are they for ?'
or was it
'Lancashire Heelers, what are they ?'
Time will tell, no doubt.
Hehe apologies LadyA (well, it tickled me, and probably few others but that's another story and for below stairs, not up here in the greater drawing room)
Alex, could I interest you in sitting beside me next week and sampling some single and double malts? That way, neither of us would have to bother about brushing up on Scots or even English? :D
Bit tired tonight so I think I'll have to say goodnight to you all and go to bed. Thanks for the fun. See you all tomorrow. (unless I get raptured or did I read that wrong and it was ruptured)
