	Morning Sharron and all, Well Fred and OH were up at the crack of dawn this morning and as the weather was bad the Haggi did not make an appearance, (they do not like the rain) so home they came. :-( I have given Fred a tupperware box Sharron which holds a Black Bun for you and sandwiches for his journey, he also has a flask with soup and a hip flask which holds his latest favourite drink Irn Bru, this should last till he gets to you :-) I hope he enjoyed himself and if you find he can hardly speak, don't worry its with all the singing he has been doing :-D Emma x

	If there are two Freds I am wondering where I will put the other one when they get home. Two pensions,two attendance allowances,two commodes.
