Chez Jules

The day of the Old Timers’ lash. Not too early a start - 2pm in the Hanover Tap and then over the road to join those who for whatever many and various reasons decided to forego aperitifs. And a good crowd - twenty two in total, and great to see everyone again. Though far too much talk, initially at least, of sore knees, hips, and other ailments. Soon all that was quite forgotten as the meal progressed, the wine flowed, and the volume of chatter increased. In the end we must have been shouting, though it was still incredibly hard to hear much. Is that an age thing? I think it might just be. Have I already mentioned that there was much ailment talk? Is that repetition thing an age thing or a drink thing? If it’s a bit of both I think we were a bit  vulnerable.
So who was all there? For the record, Chas, Linda, Liz, Lester, Angus, Baxter, Frances, Scottie, Nesbeet, AEdgar, GaryW, Suzanne, Elaine, Shroppy, Joss, MaryB, Eunice, JCowan, Reidle, Hoody, AlexB, 
So, later, back to the Tap. Digestifs obviously.
