In Desperate times...My Silky saves the day!

At the wassail we go to every January in Somerset at Wilkins cider farm, you pay £10 each to get in. For that you get local cheese, pickled onions and bread rolls, all you can drink cider (help yourself to the massive 6ft barrels ) and a great folk band to have a cider fuelled jig to.

I recommend it highly, a great night out.

I'm up for that;)

Paul, it was great to meet you again even after getting pulled over by the old bill. I try my best to smile and laugh where ever I go. No point in letting the buggers get ya down!

 

It's so much easier when you are in laid back, easy to get along with company.

 

Jon made us feel so at home.

 

Great to catch up with Marc and Matt again. And the other lads that we met for the first time.

 

Hope you can all make it up to Suffolk in the spring.

Hiya Paul

 

Good to meet you and the rest of the guys. Pity I couldnt hang around on Sunday morning - had to get up to teeside Sunday evening so as to attend a course first thing this morning.

 

You're right there mate - the good stuff doesn't give you a headache

 

If you're ever around our neck of the woods, give me a shout
