Northern Gathering hosted by Douglas & Dorothy Thomson

Pimms was followed by ham and turkey with salad and all (well, most) savoured plenteously the delicious sweets. OF’s staggered home after tea and cakes with a great feeling of a day well spent.

Plans are afoot for a Northern Gathering in Cheshire in 2007 and Scotland in 2008.

Footnote: Congratulations to Chris Essex for a achieving such a marvellous supper in the South West but I am sorry to have to tell him that he does not have the largest geographical area to cover. The Northern Gathering stretches from Yorkshire to the North of Scotland!
