Off the Mark............

A really good start to the New Year. Very mild all evening with very little wind, a rare thing indeed at this early stage. Friday night looks pretty good too, with night time temps set to hit 13°c!

  1. Nice catch buddy.
    Wine race is on again, all systems go!
    I have a bottle set a-side for you for when we hopefully catch up sometime this year.

    All the best.

  2. Yep, I also have a bottle earmarked. The finest Latvian red money can buy, a reserve no less. But judging by the start you have made I think I'd better order two bottles ... one in advance ... Bloody hell, another £2.49 down the shute !

  3. Do you really want another wine race, gentlemen? I'm worried about my liver!
    I think we can do another Home Wood night, if you're interested Ben? Maybe slightly earlier in the year than last year.
    £2.49 is a lot for you to spend on booze, Trent. That's more expensive than your usual meths.
