2 Ex Squaddies + Lots Of Ale = Messy!

Tuesday I worked from home in the morning, and then went off into Bournemouth in the afternoon a worked on a website which was interesting for me.

Mark and Kate had spent the day seeing relatives in Winchester.

That evening they came over to our van where Mark and I set about some ale with gusto!

Needless to say at 4am this morning we called it a day, slightly worse for wear, but still standing!

At this point I would like to say that after that lot and being the responsible person that I am a quick trip to http://www.drinkaware.co.uk/ would be wise. However, not being that wise or rather not wishing to scare myself Ive given it a miss, but there if you wish to upset yourselves!

Off to the Royal Signals Museum later, neither of us have ever been, so looking forward to it!

Til later...........

  3. You forgot to mention the Ladies had a fruit based drink, "M" had hers with fresh orange and Kate enjoyed the juice of the grape. Soon we will sample the apple. It's part of your 5 a day.

  4. You should try a proper pint (or two) of Sneck Lifter if you should ever stray up to Cumbria. My husband and myself have many happy memories,though some slightly hazy, of stumbling home after a "few" of these!!! Keep up the blog, having read it from day one Im a fan!! Ta Julia
