    Not sure it's a step I could take.
    He and his wife have had this dream for a few years.
    They are even taking their three dogs,you wouldn't believe the cost and hassle involved.
    Their two daughters,both early 20's will be joining them later this year.

        First one in the snug again this Sunday evening. Well, that was the week that was. Another year older, whether another year wiser is open to debate, a big stash of CDs to catch up on and a little bit of cash richer from getting third in the Derby. Hope all went well with ER's relatives on the way to NZ and trust all other Sunday nighters are in fine fettle.

        Got friends going to Sandown next weekend. Any tips, Alison?

          Good evening all.
          Hope everything went the way you would have wished it for your birthday celebrations Pet. Sounds like a good haul of CDs to keep you out of mischief. Well done on 3rd in the Derby. Next week at Sandown, is that the Eclipse?


          Just a quick half for me tonight, and I am up at silly o'clock to drive to Cornwall for work. Week should quieten down after that hopefully, might pop out to a chamber concert (piano trios)on Saturday night in Salisbury.

          Don't forget to pop onto my "world cup classics "thread and add your suggestions for appropriate music !!

              No, that's on July 5. Might try and go to that as it's always a good meeting and I have been known to pick the winner in previous years.

                Lucky you ER, have a great week off, whatever you are doing.

                Yup I'll deffo be back for the footy saturday night. Unbelievably, I am going to miss the Uruguay game, as I have a ticket for A Bruckner /Mozart gig in London that night, organised long ago.

                  Ah well, feel free to share , if you have inspiration !!
                  Never been to Sandown, even though its on my doorstep really. TBF, racing still represents a decent value day out,as long as you can manage your bets properly !!

                  Cheers chaps, have a good week.

                        Have a fantastic week Robbo !

                        Had a nice afternoon tea in Dedham, the sun got to me and collapsed on the bed as soon as I got home.

                        Nice quieter meeting at Sandown between the peaks of Epsom and Royal Ascot.

                            Alas no.

                            Good evening Sunday music lovers.

                            Another week gone in the blink of an eye.

                              Evening folks.

                              Hope its a good move for your brother, ER, not one I think I would be brave enough to take.

                              Still hope for our boys in Brazil, but need that win on Thursday. I'll be missing it, due to having tix to some Bruckner and Mozart in London !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Perhaps their luck will turn.

                              Some fairly big things going on in my household this week, all good hopefully !!

                                Good evening Sunday music lovers.

                                All good things come to an end. I know I usually never bet on the footy but before the tournament started I placed a bet on Spain to win the World Cup. Not looking so clever right now. I took the price of 13/2 but see latest being offered is 12/1

                                Today would have been my late father's 95th birthday, and it so often ended up being on Father's Day as this year. Meals out for his birthday used to be pretty expensive as restaurants hike their prices on significant days in the calendar.
