ok where shall we meet on Friday? We could always go with Coopers Field again by the stone circle if that's easy for everyone? Then we can play in peace and move on if it's crappy weather or we think of somewhere else interesting to go?

That ok? Any other ideas? smile

Watched the weather this morning and they said there'll be a cold snap from tomrrow and over the weekend. So I've checked the met-office website and they say cold but no rain so we may need to wrap up warm while we're out and about.

That means no tutu at the weekend skully! wink
