About the Book
It all seemed such a good idea at the time: a cunning little scheme for a few friends to gain a brief respite from both work and family responsibilities by arranging a two day “Cultural Weekend”. Activities were to include equine sports, some brisk walks in the fresh air and a little fine dining to improve their table etiquette. Gambling, pub crawling and a set meal for six for a couple of days: what’s not to like? Their loved ones, possibly even more desperate for a little peace and quiet, readily agreed and sent them on their way.
But everything didn’t quite go to plan. Backing horses didn’t seem to to be profitable at all, the restaurant bit turned out to be a bit tricky, and there were what can only be described as mixed results from the drinking. Over the next two decades they spent a weekend each year trying to improve: in particular, the winning formula turned out to be most elusive, but following the learning curve was a bundle of fun.
And so to the point of this almanac.
One evening over a pint in their local pub, they reminisced about their journey to enlightenment by revisiting some of their more peculiar exploits.
“You know, someone had better write some of this stuff down, or in a few years we’ll all have forgotten it. So, here it is.
PJ: this is all your fault....
