Cold???
Cold?????????

There is a tiny smattering of snow on the hills but otherwise thank goodness for central heating. Anyone wanting photographs to blackmail with - there were some great ones of my own Sheffield City Morris doing the Full Morris at Seven Champs weekend which circulated for a while.

Mind we never got blackmailed - just some rather interesting bookings.

Hey, Dave, our paths may cross at an antique fair sometime. I actually went to one at the Don valley Stadium earlier this year (although my regular one is Doncaster Racecourse).
By the way, I've got one of those Country Life butter dishes with the morris men on, have you?
