Sounds fab!  I picked up a leaflet at the HU weekend.
Odd question - is there a decent phone signal?
I wouldn't normally be bothered but I'm on-call that weekend & am expected to answer the phone if issues are raised.

See you there!

Me and Iain will be there - can't wait - it's going to be a fab weekend!
I was up there last weekend and spent the afternoon just wandering around in the pasture, taking pictures of wild flowers and just chilling. It's such a peaceful place.
See you soon.

Gutted we can't make it - looks as if we will be out of the country. A huge shame!!!!!! Sorry Danny a real bummer, but I'll help spread the word. I hope you have an amazing opening.  After all the work you've put in I think people are going to be amazed at the quality of what you have created. Wish you all the best for it, and if our plans change we'll be there like a shot!

Excellent! If I don't need the pigeons, perhaps we can put them on the BBQ
