Off to Dartmoor for a weekend walking with Mary & 3 other couples, we’re going to the Two Bridges Hotel which is quite a smart country hotel that Mary & I have stayed in quite a few times. A little worried about this trip as 2 of the other blokes, ex-army/navy chappies, are threatening to wear frocks for dinner on Saturday night, I mean, I’ve been out with them before in Weymouth to mad parties and it’s been funny to see them dress up in chicks kit but the dinning room in the Two Bridges Hotel has a pianist to quietly entertain you whilst you eat…..really!
Anyway, before then we’ve got to get everyone there which is challenge enough, even though I’ve given them all about 3 months to organise themselves, there’s still the odd one who insists that working late in London before coming to Dartmoor is something that they just have to do! They’re going to miss the Friday night meal and only arrive about 2am! Nutters!
Mary & I know how nice this place is so we’re leaving by 11am and going down there via Lyme Regis for lunch on the way, we should arrive at the hotel by about 3pm and be happy in the lounge, reading our books (kindle in my case) sitting in front of the fire each in our own leather Chesterfield with an excellent glass of Chateauneuf Du Pape at our side. Looking forward to that already.
Closing the office early now as I have to go to portland to pick up the linen for Kearney Cottage which I oleft with the Dry Cleaners and was too late to pick up yesterday. Have a good weekend Y’all. (typing like that because I’ve just booked a hotel in Cardiff for next weekend to meet up with my best mate and his wife who’re over visiting from Houston, Texas, y’all!)
