I had to do this otherwise Mrsraymo might not get any cakes over the weekend

[Triptych]

Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...

[BigG]

Raymo I owe you one, I had decided by the time I got to bed, probably owing to
a large glass of red (soup bowl) and a couple of cheeky Remy’s, that I was going
to put the competition up and then I find that you’ve already stepped in. I’m not
going anywhere for the next couple of days so If you need a stand-in for anything
just give me a shout.

Thanks mate

[raymo61]

Thanks Graham and Jac. To be honest it will be a pleasure because I absolutely adore this meeting and I need to sort my stuff out to win the cakes too!!

Good Luck Everyone and remember on Saturday you will be watching the best race on earth
