Well we had a great time today and some onlookers must have wondered if we had escaped from a local institution but we were oblivious all that. The charades were quite dramatic and the egg and spoon races turned a few heads

Nice "popping" into you the other day lotrfan, had just come back from a day over at Devonport. Can't make tascas as have a mystery trip planned. I went on a Murray "Unforgetable" boat cruise about 8 years ago, (there were 10 of us) it was absolutely one of the best holidays I have ever had. So much fun and laughter. You have to "berth" everynight, the scenery was amazing, pelicans around the boat and the damn noise of the parrots (they nest in the side of the cliffs) - the different colours of the cliffs etc, such a good trip. Hope you win the competiton, just don't let oc fall over board after one of her pink drinks!!

Nothing happening on this side of the bridge why is this you used to be a very busy team over there hope someone starts it going again soon such a shame as we have had such great times together. I did send you all my dates of non availability no one came back with any so assume there are plenty of days to go out together somewhere how about it. You know you are all most welcome to come to any of Newmarketeers events too.
have a great day hugs to you all

hi Davis no answer to your message so it looks like the Butterflies are no more, as you say its sad as we all had some good times together, but things change and thats the way it goes, I keep in touch with slosha and Jane and we have coffee etc together but no one else seemed inteested. I keep an eye on the NM and might surprise you one day with a visit. Have fun and enjoy yourselves on your trips etc.
Hugs Sophie

Hi to one and all.
I go into and read both sides of the bridge.
But I have had a friend over from the UK, so been busy busy.
Today also had visitors from up North.
I think once the summer is over and the visitors are gone and theres a nip in the air, we will start looking at the lunches and hot choc or a drop of wine.
So all hang in there and lets see if we can make a date, beginning of April, so put your thinking caps on.
If there is no response to this, then it looks like we have done our dash
