Tomorrow (Apr 15th, Sunday) we are having a little party. Two reasons- it's Kathryn's birthday, and as we shall be handing over the reins of Blakes in the next couple of weeks, we thought it would be a good time for an informal leaving do.
Food will be provided but you will have to buy your own drinks. Some local customers have kindly offered to bring pizzas and pasta salads, and I shall be making lots of sushi.
All welcome.

not much notice there peter, all the best to you both in your "retirement".

Happy Birthday Kathryn; I'm sure this will make it a perfect day.
If Jean is well enough, we'll come down to wish you both well.
Hope your dreams come true.

Have a great time, and my birthday wishes to Kathryn. To my shame I didn't even know you were leaving Blakes - good luck with all your plans and desires. Take care and have fun!

Yes indeed. Happy Birthday Mrs. Peter.
The other aspect of this does feel like the end of an Era. I do hope that you both, while doing very well, will not be too far removed from the Dover scene.
Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.
