Right Royal Oak Send Off

---

Thank you all for a wonderful send off at the Royal Oak this weekend. It was great that there were so many there. I'm sure that many of you were looking around and thinking "who are all these people?" I know I was. I had planned to say a few words, to introduce all our "families", but you were making too much racket and I was rapidly becoming incoherent. So instead, please see the who's who of photos. Unfortunately, I omitted to snap quite a few friends and neighbours, which is a shame as some had come from as far afield as Pares Way.

Hopefully, the next time you get an update, we'll be under way.
