    It’s a rough morning here in Knaresborough.
    Nik is looking bleary-eyed, Phill woke up with a lampshade on his head, I have been praying to the porcelain god. and Harry, well, the last I heard, Harry was all toasty at some B&B eating bangers and mash.
    By the end of the night Phill was indeed able to spell Guinness even if he was drinking Murphy’s.
    Peter was our designated driver.
    Love….Jill

    Well the woman in the B&B asked me

    ‘I have’, says I,
    ‘That’s good’ says she, ‘because there is no mirror in the bathroom’ 😮

    They were from Jill – she bet you you wouldn’t dare wear them when the neighbouring gang of hells angels turned up at the pub….. Come to think of it – that’s how I ended up with the lampshade on my head – I was trying to hide 😕

    PS – Congratulations to Nik on the occasion of her sons wedding 😀

    Congrats to you Nik on your son’s wedding and gaining a daughter

    Did you cry and all that stuff?

    As for Guy Ritchie: I couldn’t park my car in Bishopsgate, London cos of him last week! Film crew everywhere. They’ve taken over an old builders merchant where I was working on the front

    Didn’t see the Guy though
    (On a side note: The wind was so strong that day it literally blew the ladder over!!!!)

    Hey Jill: Didn’t know you were crossing the pond
    Hope you had a great time!

    My Aunt Barbara lives in Knaresborough
    I shall be going on a round trip to see her in December
    Did you want to know that?

    Phil: Knew you were a shady character. Your antics over the weekend only shed light on the matter. Funny how quickly you can switch

    I think Guy has the other half because he needs to rediscover the fact that he was once a man. No, I think Madonna stole the other half.

    Thanks for the update, John, and also congratulations to Nik upon becoming a Mum-In-Law.

    Fess up Phill, you were also sporting a pair of bike shorts! You and Harry did a karaoke rendition of Girl You Know It’s True. The B&B is sending Harry a bill for the new carpet in his room.

    Just got in last night at 10, and am very jetlagged.
    Love….Jill

    I’ve got a bike. You can ride it if you like.
    It’s got a basket, a bell that rings and
    Things to make it look good.
    I’d give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it.
