Thanks Frothy!!!
Hadn't realised until today that the stained glass bull has been marked into areas, as a butcher would do, but the names on it refer - we think - to gun parts. Typically Postie spotted the gooleys first lol spelt with ie at the end it originates from the Hindi for a bullet apparently!

A great afternoon, it was good to meet a lot of old friends again.
Dave and Barbara truly are a lovely couple, and it was a priviledge to make there aquaintance.
I can't believe I turned up without my camera, that has to be a first.
thank you all for making it a very enjoyable afternoon, hope to see you all again very soon.
Great pictures.
Brian
 
Looks as though you finished your birthday in style then Lyn. Glad it all went well, and that everyone had a good time.
I like the look of the Bull pub too. Thanks for putting the pics on for us to see.

Jean, we were all remarkably well behaved, no falling down for anyone, even Frothy lol - although the positioning of the arm of the bench was a little awkward lol!
Dave says he has your mobile number to contact you on, he and Barbara are lovely people, a pleasure to meet them , shame that Barbaras mom was too poorly to come along.
Sue
 
jean as sue has said no falling down this time...we kept frothy well away from rosies step..

lol.gif
 
oh dear jean..thing is we are too busy trying not to to spill our drinks that the step goes unnoticed lol...
 
have to say though, we were sensible enough to sit in the "lower half" of the pub, so didn't really have to negotiate the step this time lol

Hello all,
Firstly, let me apologise for not responding sooner but its as though we just landed, yet we've been home more than 3 weeks now.
I thought now would be a good time to write as the Wolves managed to win at home at last by beating the Blues!!!!
Seriously, Barb and I would like to thank everyone who turned up at The Bull for our Meet and Greet, especially Lyn (Astoness) for organising it. Lyn, you were really great to us, the books you bought us, Barb's birthday card arriving at the guest house with some of the photos from The Bull included. Not forgetting of course, our new Forum badges which we wear with pride.
All in all, what an enjoyable event to treasure for ever. It was a lovely refreshing break from what was not much of a holiday for us due to Barb's mom being ill. I know Brian Skelding and his wife will enjoy the Xmas get together as much as we did at The Bull.
Best wishes and A Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year to all Forum members, wherever you are.
