Bit of a downsizer weekendWe 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.

We are having a little one here this weekend, hope the weather holds  or it might be at my house

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?

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...

So who's coming over on 30th Sept then?
It is a bit too cold to be camping (IMO) but we have a couple of sofa beds and plenty of floor space. We could call it a rehearsal for next year's DS meet-up en France I guess.

Would like to come over, but I'm working at the moment. What a shame.
Have fun.
See ya,
Anders
PS Still got that book of yours Simon, - we'll bring it back, promise.

Simon

No worries.
Books are for passing on, not bringing back.
Stories shared are stories multiplied, yes?

Wish we could. Too far and too much money just for a weekend .
