I'd just like to echo previous posts, and say a big thank you to Michelle & Jim for arranging the latest meet.
Perfect location, some fantastic hills, great company and plenty of laughs (a fair few at my own expense
).
Yes, losing the car keys was initially a bit a nightmare, but in reality it was all just a short term inconvenience.
No-one got injured, no-one received the news they had an incurable disease, and no-one had to deal with someone they love, never again returning home.
In the grand scheme of things, this was just a little reminder to keep focussed on the important things in life.
I lost time & I lost money, but I still got home to my beautiful wife & my 2 precious boys. Life is all good.
I had countless offers of help and support, and I'll never remember them all, so....
To everyone who offered / helped me out: Thank you, so much. There were all genuinely appreciated.
A couple of special mentions:
Jonathan, thanks for doing the double run in the car, to pick Parminder and myself up.
Parminder & George, thank you both for changing your plans, and for hanging around so patiently on the Sunday.
And, just for the record (re: quiz night)....
