commenced a mountain of laundry with the wind building as usual. With

Palmas before the transatlantic: A very well travelled pumpkin was
still aboard from November 20th 2009! Not a huge lover of pumpkin
Simon couldn’t wait for the first of several offerings; slices grilled
with the barbecue which he ate with a polite smile. A nice bottle of
chilled French white was sure to please however.
