19th June 2012 ... What bad weather ??

A couple of Kentish Ales, England beat Ukraine and a good mothing night.
My micro tally should be boosted by a few. David (county recorder) & Sylvia (moth widow) Manning popped by for a morning cuppa and took away a few pots for examination.
I'm tempted to mention the Macro Race for the bottle of wine as I am 20+ ahead of Captain Trappings ..... but I won't.
