Geoff, I’d love to join you for the walk, lunch, punt etc. What is the situation regarding car parking outside your house for the day?

Ellee, on Saturday you can park in the office car park at the back of the house. Turn into Cambridge Place by Domino’s Pizza place – or let the train take the strain..

Geoff, thanks for the invitation. I’d love to join you for the swimming (unless its horribly cold) and maybe for the Shakespeare (I’ll investigate) and party afterwards. I’ll try to get Hephzibah to come to either or both.

I’d love to, Geoff but sadly must decline due to geographical location. Have a wonderful time and many happy returns.

Geoff, definitely count Stephen and I in for the Shakespeare.
Don’t forget it’s his 50th the night before and we would so love it if you and Sally could come to his party. His band will be playing so you can dance the night away, I know you’ll have heaps of fun.

Over 60 – then when do we get to play bingo – only joking. Would love to join you for the walk and lunch.

I would of loved to have been there to meet you but unfortunately not possible…but I hope you have a fantastic birthday. I’m sure you will. :-). Of all the weekends for you to disappear to Malta it had to be this one. I am in Cambridge tomorrow for my nieces 21st birthday. But a great country you have gone to and one very close to my heart…my father and his family came from Malta, Hamrun near Valetta.

All looks good – apart from the swim which I think I’ll miss.
I’ll get my own Shakespeare ticket – hmm – I saw that fairly recently… –
