We had a good weekend with a sort of mini-downsizer meet, Saturday Simon ,Zoe and the boys came to stay and in the evening Tay and Andy came around, a few drinks and a barbecue went down well as did Simon's bunnyburgers, Sunday we toddled down to meet Anders and Judith, it's the first time I have met them and hopefully not the last, it was especially nice as they had friends from England and some French neighbours who were great fun.

It was great. Nice to meet Tay and Andy before they go back to the UK. Thanks to Ray and Jan for your hospitality. Also thanks to Anders and Judith (although I could say that in person as they are staying with us at present). Looking forward to the next Downsizer (France) meet-up, when you are over here Pricey. Do you think we can talk Ray & Jan into trecking down here?

Well that's that sorted then. Just try and pick a day when I am not working next morning or I will be sipping flippin' tea with you guys. Fridays & Saturdays are good (hint hint)

There's still time for me to get a batch of homebrew on the go then (just). I am onto it now. Did I mention that we have created a 'pub' in our front room?

Excellent! What's it called? Are you open to suggestions?

Thank you for a splendid evening. Excellent company, very tasty food (we both tried the renowned 'Bunny Burgers' - the first time that we had even eaten lagomorph). I'm sure that our dearly-departed pet rabbits won't forgive us easily...
