Green and Pleasant Land

After the debacle of the rugby (passim) he set off to spend the weekend with his splendid friends Rob and Helen and the Pofydd entity (along with Pop the dog) at Rob and Helen's place in Beaconsfield, South Buckinghamshire (it is important to add that detail apparently, well Rob always used to at university).

A long tramp in the country early Saturday to pick blackberries followed by the boys flopped in front of the TV watching the Wales Australia match (our analysis was good performance from the taffs, shame about Thomas G's efforts at getting over-physical backfiring, with a lot of luck could have won it) and then enjoying some splendid wine, food (including blackberry crumble) and the usual badinage.

Sunday was more of the same; walking in the countryside (save with pigs on this occasion).

The usual splendid weekend with chums in other words.
