Good Morning Everyone,
Its a grey and wet start here in Brackley this morning , will watch some of Olympic mountain biking this morning , before going out to Bicester later .
I have had thoughts on doing what I have done before lockdowns ,and make a full day of it and include Buckingham in the journey , but will see what changes occur over coming weeks.
Take Care,
Mick

Don't bring the chopper, Muse - you might get caught up in a bit of air/sea rescuing or fire-fighting. Although actually, that might be an idea - ignore the ever-optimistic Nannagarra rushing out of Home Bargains clutching her receipt and guarantee- because I think that a bunch of Ladies who Lunch larking about in a dinghy are possibly going to need an eye kept on them. Eye in the sky it is then! Of course there's room for you, bring some of your DD's Gin and some Cornish cream, please. And sunscreen. See you Friday? I shall be asking tomorrow about the route. NannaG, I have concerns that Jax - she of the impeccable taste and Learjet - might look askance at the thought of travelling to the South of France with a horde of inflatable flamingoes. And isn't that a bit 'coals to Newcastle?" We have a squillion real ones all along the coast. You ought to check that they won't be lowering the tone - although hope you're aware that you're travelling to the cheap end of the South coast. It's not all bling, bling and Russian yachts along here, so maybe a sudden influx of gaudy inflatable birds (the Flamingoes, not the GoodMorningers) might not be noticed. ??‍♀️?

Plenty of space in the hold Nannagarra for ???and for any foodstuffs required by GF and her Monsieur, as dairy is banned, perhaps we could stuff, temporarily, a ?with cheddar. I’ll need Tia Maria too, difficult to buy in Françe. We may need two trips!

Dairy is banned Captain Jax? I think you'll find that a cargo of random Grans Iz Banned - so it's possibly rather late to start splitting hairs regarding the import of Cheddar. And why d'you need Cheddar, especially encased in shocking pink plastic (?), when we've got Comté? Very nice, just a bit nuttier (how appropriate). Still, your jet your rules. Don't worry we have access to very good wine and the catering is all - well - catered for! So you can bring loads of Tia Maria, Flamingo wrapped cheese, swimming costumes etc., But don't bring that old costume with the hole in the knee please, even though it may have come back into fashion....we do have some standards! See you tomorrow dear ladies x

Ever-optimistic? Moi? ???
Right then - honey pot’s stuffed with Cheddar, Cornish cream and Tia Maria!
These two had better budge up if we’re all to fit in…

*Grandmafrench' it sounds as though the first beano is full, but if you were planning another in mid September, we won't be far from Montpelier, Boris and Macron permitting! ?

(Ahem!)
When did this stop being Mick’s Good Morning thread?
You know, the one where you say where you live, what the weather is and a couple of sentences about your plans for the day?
