The weekend in the Lake District was brilliant. The sun shone, the scenery was superb, the activities great fun. The best of these was the Ghyll Scrambling.
It was terrific.
Back to the first bite from the new website. It was for a wedding at Christmas in Cheshire. A long way to go. I have a suspicion that my fee might be a little too high as I know there are many Toastmasters in that neck of the woods who work very "Economically". (That was a euphemism.)
Now the big news on the Toastmaster front is a three day job I've picked up for the end of May/beginning of June. It's a long story.
Last September I was Toastmaster for Clare and Rob at Hedsor House in Buckinghamshire.
It was a lovely, lovely wedding and whilst there I worked with some excellent people, among whom was Brian from Taylor's Cuisine. Brian contacted me to see if I would be interested in a three day job working as a butler at Tofte Manor
(Spot the gag? I know you have Andy) I've never buttled before! Anyway it's for the American band "Journey" who are starting their UK tour at Wembley Stadium on the Saturday.

I am really looking forward to it. These guys are really big on the other side of the pond. A couple of them kicked off their careers with Carlos Santana , one of my all time favourites.
Their big number is "Don't Stop Believin'" I must admit, this is likely to be a "dining out on" tale for a while to come!
Well this week's offering is going to be a day early and a little shorter than usual. (That's no bad thing I hear you murmur gentle reader.) This is because we are off to Dover Castle with English Heritage for the Easter weekend with THE NEW TENT!
Hopefully when I come back I can show you pictures of the beauty at work. It's very big.
Anyway time to go to Dover.
More next week.
Live long and be Toastmastered
