Chris I read it as Dave was running away with the money LOL but on continuing reading I figured as you were waiting his return he was not. Will Gary come to you for the day or a couple?

Yes definitely stay warm and in the house homemade breakfasts

Nah, we went to the cafe in the village. It's flat all the way and the scooters did well. That ramp to the beach though - didn't even try it.

There are days when I wish he would run away Kazz

Gary will come to us on Christmas day. He won't stay over - he never wants to. The only time he does is if a fit has really knocked him for six and then he may (or may not) deign to stay with us for the night

I will be off up and out again tomorrow, picking up my nephews prescription early doors then a Christmas brunch with the old book reading club, it is freezing here again so pleased its not a night-time get together as previously planned for tonight I asked for daytime due to the Christmas jumper meal today. Few changes have occurred to my plans due to other peoples appointments and of course the weather. But a good week so far nice to catch up.

Its good Chris that he is independent enough to go home. You will have to shoe horn him into the car going home with all his presents.

Think the café in the village is classed as a homemade brekkie. Sustainable miles travelled. LOL glad you have had a nice day.
