Hi all glad to see your all still on here and fighting fit.It seems your are enjoying your retirement mappo bet you never realized being home all day could keep you so busy. Has any one reminded Mr Sheppard that he is going to be descended upon there is always a chance he has forgotten he is getting old like the rest of us. Unfortunately i can’t make it this year but hope you all have a good time.Any one wanting to leave a drink behind the bar for me please feel free to do so and i will go over at a later date and have them. Thanks in advance all have a good time and hopefully i will see you all next year. :laughing:
