I'm getting very worried about you two, Ivor & Barry!  I think you've both  been out at sea far too long!!!  :unsure:

Hi Mandy  Just a bit of fun, don't worry about it, we haven't been at sea together!!! I do fancy is parrot though .pleased you read the dialogue and clearly understood the language.  Might you be the fair maid I had in mind?   or is there another.  Mike say's your back to full health again. Good.

Seven A's braved the cold today from the forrest, Kevin,John S, Gary,Chris Poole, Owen, Derek and myself.

Those Absent out of our regulars were Chrispy, late getting out of bed ?, Phil C, in Minehead, Ken, Family bereavement,

Sean, new arrival ( patter of little feet ), Dave and Mandy ?

A good pace was set and Derek lasted a little further this week to turn back at Inkberrow, John turned at Broom and made his own way back.

As we approched the railway carriage the Bs consisting of ChrisK, ChrisT and PeteC were spotted in front and a little later Chrispy joined us from a different direction,  perfect timing.

Hoping for a chance to warm up at the carriage was out the question as the log burner had not been lit and it was actually warmer outside than in, oh well at least the food was hot.

We all set out together for the ride home and soon warmed up again.

People spotted out today were Janet Carbutt with partner and Ivor this afternoon.

No Cap'n again, will report to the Admiralty for dereliction of duty. recommend Keel Hauling. Joined reduced crew, Backache Pete, Porky Chris and Michelle's Fellow at home Port. Owing to time constraint's, gave crew bearing directions at Port Bidford and returned by fast clipper, although it was very slow. just made home Port in time for other duties. Relayed instructions to Port Carriage to dowse all fires to make them work harder on the home leg. Good to hear they carried them out.

Sorry I missed you today guys but I had to ride a 200km Audax as it was my last chance this month to get in my quota, started at 7:30 this morning when it was 2 degrees and finished at 8:00 this evening when it was back to 2 degrees again. It only got as high as 6 degrees during the ride.
