That's a shame, it would have been lovely to see you again.
How about August 20th?  (our Summer Fayre.)

I think Bettys like Margaret Thatcher. She can survive on a few hours sleep. ;D.
That is the only resemblance
When I get old I don't want people thinking
                      "What a sweet little old lady"........
                             I want em saying
                    "Oh Crap! Whats she up to now ?"

I'm one of those mad people who always wake up early.  Any time after 4am is normal for me.  I do go to bed fairly early though, around 10ish.

I have a poster in the back of the mobile shed advertising the plant sale, white elephant and cream teas.
We have new neighbours that have come from the Cameroon and yesterday she asked if she could bring the children to see the white elephant.When I looked at her with amazement she said "Its not areal elephant is it?" I said "No" and she said "I know its a flower isn't it"
Trying to explain was so difficult cos I was laughing so much.
When we go out she always asks us if we are going to the farm.
When I get old I don't want people thinking
                      "What a sweet little old lady"........
                             I want em saying
                    "Oh Crap! Whats she up to now ?"
