Debriefing – August 19th

It’s Friday once again and on this one it’s back to mission control at the Vic, having flown back to England yesterday. Nick is staying on in Spain for a few more weeks so it was left to me to report on the recent excursion.

One of the joys of travel is the fund of stories that one returns with and this trip was no exception. The promptings of the assembled group brought back a flood of memories from the last three weeks. And what memories they were, beautiful architecture, fascinating cities, good food, good music but most of all good conversation and comradeship. It is these last two that are the basis of our usual gatherings.

The afternoon’s proceedings afford the opportunity for the group to interrogate me about the detail of the recent road trip. As usual the discussion ranged far and wide, one highlight being a vigorous exchange of views relating to the rights or wrongs of the links between our judicial system and the European courts.

The impending local derby was the subject of much speculation. It can’t be another disappointment can it?

A quick phone call to Nick in Spain to check on the weather cheered us up.

There’s still no sign of the landlord and rumours as to his whereabouts on the North American land mass abound. Fortunately we still have Craig looking after our every need.
