Hi,   No, Marks' not done a runner!! Been busy.   The only pub locally is "The Longlands" 10 min walk.   Coming up from the South or down from the North   Leave M6 at Jct 35 follow A601(M) to Carnforth   At roundabout follow signs to Milnthorpe   After about a mile take 4th exit at roundabout (You will nearly double back on yourself) Borwick is signposted   Stay on that road over m/way through x roads once you go over canal bridge, visitor car park is on left, please park there.   Hope this helps.                                                                                                                                                                              

ooops  fankoo   Is this the same car park as in the summer?                                                                                                                                                                             

Apologies for the lack of countdowns in the final week!   2 more sleeps to go!!                                                                                                                                                                               

Hi Minnie,   different car park, it's just up from red phone box in the village, sign posted you can't miss it.                                                                                                                                                                             

I have been keeping an eye on the Met Office Web site, and the weather looks a bit too unsettled, so I am going to chicken out. No that doesn't mean I am not coming - I want to meet you lot - but I am coming on 4 wheels rather than 2. The upside of that is - if anyone needs a lift from the Manchester area - let me know. See yo all soon John

No worries John, I'm in the car as well, see you there.

Got back and had some coffee. Now about to catch up with some sleep. But before I do:-   Mark & Blackberry and everyone involved with this Party. THanks for organising a fantastic Party. I had a great time and will definitely turn up at any repeat events. But if I do, can you promise to shoot me before the Jiving starts.   Without that I might have made it as an All-Nighter.   To everyone who was there, great to meet you and thank you all for helping to make it an enjoyable night.   And lastly - Natalie. Great singing Thanks for being there. (Don't know if she can read this, but Blackberry - will you pass it on.   Thanbks everyone and Good Night>   John
