But nearly.

A Happy  Christmas and New Year from Mac

Now I'm not going to go on a lot - promise.

The real news from Ashfield Road is that Ken Evans has put so many railway sleepers in my front garden that Nasa say passing Astronauts can see it from space. (If they are nice he'll give them a wave.) 

I have just celebrated (?) 20 years with Friends Provident ? Questionable. Don't tell anyone. They they will want me out.

We aren't being flooded ! (Is that the main difference between this year and last ?)

What else ?

Julie Wheeler had a birthday. Yes - 40 (Can I say that ? Too late now.)

Nick Nobbs got married to Catherine in Salisbury Registry Office.

Jon and Caroline Howells are - nearly - back in Salisbury.

I have two links for you to go and look at which should prove everything you have ever thought about me is true.  Any charges of hypocrisy will be rebutted on the basis that I am not the Foreign Secretary. I occasionally chat to tourists in Pubs but that is hardly diplomacy....

And he didn't even tell me to go and get knotted.

I would also point out that what he says about my charity "knowing no bounds" is of course completely untrue. Have you ever seen me buy a round ?

Have a happy Christmas and merry New year (Is that the right way round - shouldn't it be....oh....never mind).

Mac
