    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

    Weekend was superb! (well aside from breaking hound the elder a bit - poor boy!)

    We had a darned good go at another off your list too didn't we - the mocktails one - but we'll have to leave that for another time! We need some planning to sort that Kingfisher thing out properly too - I can't 100% guarantee you one - maybe 80% though. :)
