There was enough 'bits' provided to get you started (milk, tea etc etc) and as I was late arriving I ended up taking the quick option of driving into Hartington village where the chippy is in residence on Friday evenings. There is a massive pigeon* loose on the property, the only thing to watch for is the poo droppings that can appear anywhere in your path. At any time. You could end up taking it into the property. The property warmed up quicker than my house! I have already booked my space at the property next year. *= Pheasant really, not a pigeon. :-)
