Charlie has always seemed to have set great store by what his stomach tells him, and we can all feel his concerns when he – for some time – cannot find their venue for this much anticipated Blowout of a Christmas Lunch.  Eventually, all is well !  Found at last.  He says the meal was a success but they were too full to enjoy the gramophone, preferring instead to climb a local hill called ‘The Cloud’.  And it must have rankled that they were unable to do their tea ‘full justice’.

There is a special post tomorrow (Monday 28 March 2016) please look for it if you go straight to Tuesday’s release.
