    Enjoy Nathan :-)

    By the way, I’ve only just read your signature properly, assumed it was ‘Faugheen is a Faugheen beauty’ :mrgreen:

    Nathan I’d love to come but Newmarket clashes with that day, why don’t you do a divert and come to Suffolk, I’ve got lots of friends, we could all have a group hug :heart:
    The Lockinge will be be screened so I’ll look out for you, hope you have a great day and take lots of pics. :good: Jac

    I did Nathan, I always wanted to go there one year and I’m delighted to have done it now. The atmosphere there on Tuesday was phenomenal. The crowds were huge, but we didn’t bother moving around too much on Tuesday and were happy to stay in front of the stands for most of the day. We walked down past the parade ring before the first race and I had an eye out to see if I could see you around the winners’ enclosure, but we were probably too early. As much as I enjoyed it, I don’t know exactly why but I missed watching it on telly at home and I’d say I’ll leave it a few years now before I think of another journey. A couple of days at Aintree could be my next target :-)

    I’ll take a look at the fixture list Jac, as I’ve got a few weeks off in August. I could drop Mucker off in Reading with family and go from there.

    I cant handle the crowds these days Tommy, so I just bunk by the paddock at Cheltenham.
    Don’t think I’ll be going again there either for a few years although I said that last time.

    Look forward to meeting you Joni and the twins. My lad will only go if his Aunties from Reading go, so I’ve been dropping seeds to them otherwise it will just be me. Ginger has booked a holiday after meeting up last year, he just couldn’t face it again and suggested we meet up once a lifetime. TAPK has said yes at the moment but not concrete as things can change. Emmylou hope you can make it, make sure to bring your camera.!! Ricky Lake said he’s not going and will leave it to the flat Muppets.
    We just need to post up crimewatch photo’s so IanDavies knows who to avoid.

    Good and bad news and good and bad news.
    the good news is ginger has a girlfriend.
    the bad news is he is away with her on Lockinge day.
    the good and bad news is she still has time to dump him…..
