Hello again, it's Friday morning, the birds are a twittering, there's a gentle breeze in the air causing the Willows to sway majestically. Today people, life is good. Gloucester beat Ulster 32-14 in the Heineken cup last night and the taste of victory is still in our moths.

Most of the Village went to Ireland on Thursday to watch said match so it's been pretty quiet here as our population is only about 100. Told you it was insular. Still, it was an interesting day for all that.

Firstly we had a rival cricket team in for their end of season dinner so we gave them a good ribbing, but what I most remember is the residents that we had in for the night. No less than 8 people. All from Kingston upon Thames. Ahhh, how we reminisced. Sunday sojourns in Richmond park, riverside pubs on hot balmy afternoons. We spoke into the wee hours and yes, life was good. One chap was so tall, about 6'8" that if he said black was white you would have agreed.

Well I best go, i'm working all day today and the lunatics are due back from across the pond. Have a good day everybody.
