Have you ever been to a Harvester before?

The team went out for a team bonding session this evening - Harvesters Grove Tavern and chicken all round. Marian went for the simple one, Sally had Kickin Garlic and Lynn and I went all lemon and herby. One of us had the pictured item for dessert too......




A good time was had by all and final plans were made for Sunday. We learnt from Marian that we're walking the Heath outside the Clarendon and that we have to be there for half nine to register and warm up. Something which I also forgot was: we each get a medal! Woohoo and yay! Plenty of water is needed and we're asking for weather "like we had today" and I added "and a cool breeze please". We're meeting at Sally's first thing and walking (what?) to the Heath from hers. Discussions on what to wear were held and also the tricky problem of what to do if we need a wee half way round. I won't go any further into those discussions, best to draw a veil......T-shirts were given out (not going to tell you what we've got on them, you'll have to come and see us) and a hat-trying-on-session. Dear me, we're such girlies!

And.......we've exceeded our £800 target.....what do you think? Take it up to a round £1000?

More online thank you's to Alison Hardacre, Barb and Dave, Sarah Neill, Petang and my Uncle Dave! Have got some more to add which I promise I'll do before Sunday and that's without all those that have yet to sponsor us - I have their promises in my little black book!

Seriously, a mahoosive thank you to EVERYONE who has sponsored us so far and all those who have filled in a paper sponsorship form for us to collect the money later and all those who have "got the money, will let you have it when I next see you". It's greatly appreciated by all four of us! Thank you also to those of you who have offered moral and practical support (Tony Scott and his hose spring to mind).

So, dear supporters, we'll see you somewhere outside the Clarendon (look for Auntie Gwen who will be wearing our pictures on her T-shirt) at half tennish on Sunday and later in the Princess of Wales public house (for a location map click here) but beware.....if you hear snoring, it's us four absolutely knackered.

Just keep the noise down and turn the lights out as you leave......
