A message fer all jones, blakemore an' pinches family members !

Sally an' I am looken forward ter greeten yaouw all ter ar noo um in the forest of dane. we realise that it is a lung journey dowl frum the midlands (an' wrexham!) so we yav organised the family gatheren fer saturdoy lunchtime/afternoon.

Instead of the normal jones gatheren in a formal venue, we yav organised caterers who wull be preparen a locally caught deer fer a special venison chops rous in ar back gardingg ! they wull also be preparen a selection of vegetarian dishes - we wull post details on this page nearer the date so yaouw can mek yaw choices.

I am hopen ter organise a short video link up with me babboys so that yaouw can see what yaw cousins/nephews/nieces am up ter over in australia ! ben (noo 25!) an' his ooman poppy am plannen ter cum over ter to the uk anunst year an' am keen ter meet up with the family, so it ood be a crackin woy ter introduce them ter yaouw all !

Yow am all, of couss welcum ter stoy fridoy or saturdoy noight - just let us knoo an' we'll arrange accomodation. there is lots of free accommodation available aither at cannop villas or at the owse we were renten previously at ashwell grange granary (about 5 miles away), but ployz let us knoo early so we can reserve. if yaouw can bren a tent then ployz does so - plenty of space ter camp aither in the gardingg or in the surrounden 20,000 acres of forest ! there is a cycle centre just opposite us where yaouw can hire bikes ter try ert the 20 miles of tracks in the forest - 'un runs just behind the owse ! keen cyclists moy wanna bren their own.
