Radnorshire, around Knighton, is the family area
I am up for a drink anytime anywhere (Martini girl me!!) just depends on my shifts that's all, so if you have any idea when the two of you might get down here let me know. Doesn't have to be a weekend from my point of view, but I don't know how you guys are fixed? I shall be out having a couple of beers tomorrow(cyclones permitting) but if the notice is too short, never fear, there will be another chance soon

well if bernie is going home why not arrange some random excuse going away do. we are never 'down"there so to speak but can just come whenever. Up until now days arent an issue to me but now I suppose weekends are better since my first starts school this wednesday.

I will talk to Ems on Monday see what her position is - I can sort whatever I guess since we both work for me and even with Pop she has to be in brisbane a lot for appointmetns at the mater so we could maybe coordinate around that. ems has kids but is quite flexible

be nice to catch up - so where are you from?

oh yes and with 3 under 5 - tomorrow is out for me but andrew goes away for a month again on Monday and so then I can make my own plans

OK, let me get my roster out tomorrow, and I'll see what's free between now and Bernie going home....can't imagine going drinking without him at present ......I'll send you some dates
As for where am I from? Born in Zummerzet, near Glastonbury Tor, though with lots of Welsh blood grew up in various places but most of my schooldays were spent in Swindon. Went to college in Brighton and lived there for 20 years before coming here. Family are now all in the north Bristol area, so thats where I end up when I go home.

nope.. never touch the stuff, me !

I, will of course, be there with bells on

Em x

Yes I didn't want to tell them the truth about you, although I am sure some may have guessed. Get some bells for me....

They'll get the biggest shock when they realise that I really am a 58 year old bloke called Ron and that you are Loretta, a dinner lady living in Reading

Em x

even esmerelda has a somerset accent

Drinks in Brisbane sounds good to me,i might even turn up,if only to protect my EM from that rogue Kporte

I braved my first expat meet the other week and was told I'm nowhere near as old as I seem Still not sure how to take that, really...actually I probably am, as apparently I'm quite a bit older than I look...or act...or something...

I thought you were a babe

...but were sorely disappointed.

Indeed not

i think its the something lol
