What a boon day for me yesterday.
Treated by Helen to my breaky.
Then, walking to our local Asian restaurant, on my own for evening dinner, I gate-crashed into friends, who insisted on me joining them, plus I had a ride home in a new limo.
The only thing I paid for yesterday was a smoothy in Cafe Italia.
What a pip!

Hi All,
Sorry for the late reply. Our last few days in Coventry were quite hectic as well as sad saying good bye to precious family and friends. We are in Vietnam at the moment before returning home to Melbourne on Monday.
It was so wonderful to be able to catch up with you all once again and to meet Helen. Thank you for the coffee Helen. The lovely greeting from you all 'our forum family' is always a very special part of our trip to the UK. If only there was that secret tunnel Philip for us to use! Take care - until we meet again. Les and Gilly |

I'm finally home from my travels, two days later than planned because my car is playing silly devils again. Sigh. I'm pooped. Despite the travails, it was a great trip and the brekkie was a highlight. |

Me thinks this sounds nice.
As long as it's somewhere that serves food. |

Having sung my last this year, until a visit to Gloucester cathedral in February 2024, I am off to "chateau enfant de choeur" near Montelimar for the next 3 and a half weeks, (just a two-up, two-down but we are built lean-to the 13th C chateau). I return to face the surgeons scalpel (laparoscope) to get some internals replaced to their rightful places. Much as I am wishing to meet you all again I fear I am unable to make a date before the New Year. I will keep in touch: our peasant dwelling has 21st C 300Mb/s fibre! |

Best of luck with the surgery choirboy, and if you tell me if you are joining the choristers and the time and day, provided I'm available I will try to attend one of the services and perhaps meet you afterwards? Take care and God be with you. Graham |

There might only be three suitable Saturdays left to squeeze in one of our Famous Forum Christmas Brekkies.... the 2nd, 9th or 16th of December.
Does anyone have any favourites out of those?

Apologies, I will be in Bergues, France. Although a small town by comparison to Coventry, 80% of the buildings had been destroyed by the end of WW2. Restoration has followed a different path. I will be staying in the hotel next to the church tower. The north trancept was left in ruins.
