Well said David, it's rather like those traditional gatherings of "Golf Widows".

Hi David,

I believe the main hotel is now fully booked, but I have made a post here giving details of nearby alternative accommodation.

It's been a couple of months since I contacted some of those hotels/B&Bs so the information regarding availability may not be up to date. If you do contact any of them, could you please let me know if the availability has changed (or if you book any of the available rooms) so that I can update the post. Thanks

You will be very much missed Vera (as will be your Pelican Blue motor with its new heart!).

Think of all the oil you wont have to take with you this time if you did come!
