Sorry.....sit down lunch is what we are booked for but that doesn't mean you have to...I will be though

 

[ester]

It will not surprise you to know that I will be having lunch

I may have to leave space for 'Chocolate & orange bread & butter pudding with custard or ice cream' though!

 

[_GG_]

And I'm going to have the pork loin roast and eaton mess

Don't worry folks, you don't have to order in advance, they'll take orders at the table and you can have whatever you want, be it snack/starter/main/dessert/all of the above

 

[ester]

I was thinking pork too but def bread and butter, I'll skip brekkie

 

[Silmarillion]

Crikey, I don't know about not ordering in advance - I've already picked mine! I'll do some extra energetic mucking out in the morning to make room...

 

[_GG_]

Nom nom...I can't wait for this now. I have also been very good and took Stig with me to collect my SS mini gift

I have a new livery arriving on Friday, someone else coming to look around on Saturday and a MOUNTAIN of work to do in the garden/fields and house and then the builder is coming on Sunday at 11 to finalise the refurbishment of the stables, so I am going to be getting ready, driving all of 80 yards down the lane to park in the yard, hurry then through the plans and hotfoot it over to PPP's to meet her four legged lovely, then we'll be on our way.

I already feel tired xx

 

[its_noodles]

Leg of lamb will do...

 

[Dusty85]

Me too please!! I will be driving a grand total of about a mile and a half to The Crown!

Hmm My SS gift may be under par as I am working all week on call 8-8 so will be a saturday mad dash!

_GG_ what time do you think we'll be back on sunday??

 

[_GG_]

_GG_ what time do you think we'll be back on sunday??

Well, I would guess any time between 4 and 6 depending on how much we like the rest of them xxx

 

[PingPongPony]

Hahah, ok. Because, I'm supposed to be working at 5, but I can see if anyone can cover my shift till 6, I'll think of something xxx

Well then we can get you home for half four if needed xx

 

[ester]

I was going to suggest it depended on dragging GG away from her eton mess

I think it's hilarious that you have the notion that it will be on the table for more than 0.3 seconds!!!!!

So gutted I can't make this - will definitely be up for a meet-up in the new year

Excellent point, well made.

 

[Mince Pie]

PPP if it helps I won't be staying too long either - 3 hour drive for me!

ETA: GG are we bringing dogs or leaving them at home?

 

[ester]

And Frank will want his supper anyway

Hungry already.

It's going to be a busy pub and I am not sure that dogs will be allowed during food service times, but with your long drive and a new puppy, I think it would be rude of you not to bring them...I can always bring the Land Rover so that they can sleep in there as it is wee/poo/chew proof and loads of room as no rear seats as it won't be hot so they'll be fine in the car for a bit if it saves leaving them home xxx

 

[Mince Pie]

I can leave them with my friend, just wasn't sure what the plan was

 

[_GG_]

Okidoke....it's a very popular pub so a Sunday afternoon will be rammed, lol

 

[miss_c]

I'm working on JM07, not sure what name she uses these days.

 

[lazysunday]

Been away, just to confirm that I'll be meeting you all on Sunday.

Racking lonely brain cell for Secret Santa ideas

 

[MochaDun]

I don't mind, just happy to pick up MD if that helped. Knowing all about car issues you see

Thanks for the very kind lift offers, Ester and BBH and Miss C but it's as Miss_C says it's not lack of transport it's just time as I'm going to be out and about test driving hopefully most of the weekend I think.

I had to do the same myself 2 weeks ago so feel your pain, it is very nice having a new one though, Sunday will be my first proper 'trip' in it
