NOWHERE !


MORE THAN YOU THINK (or REMEMBER)



There was a knock on the door, He answered it to find a six foot tall beetle standing there. Without warning it headbutted  him, savagely kicked his shins and ran off.

The following day he went to the doctors with a broken nose and severe bruising.. " Yes" said the doctor wisely, "There's a nasty bug going round " .

Well there has been a "Nasty Bug" going round the Meanderthals. Not , I hasten to add, in the form of a beetle, but nevertheless a bug that has left our numbers severely depleted So.......... NO WALK THIS WEEK !   SORRY.
