I'm working the 29th May, free the 1st.

In fact, here are those free weekends and Bank Hols in full:

April

all of Easter
22/23

(BH)
7
13/14
28

June
3/4
10/11

Markets are fine - maybe with access to the river? I lurve the boats :-)

 It came to me in a dream !
 

I dreamt the other night that I was walking down Piccadilly from Green Park
and everybody except me was wearing Regency costume, periwigs and all. I was
embarrassed and kicking myself for forgetting that it was a special national
day when we all dress like fops and dandies, and peer at each other through
lorgnettes.

So, anyway, a PDML. I will mull over a suitable place and time. Is anybody
up for a weekend one, or do you prefer a weekday evening? We have a number

Period dress is optional.

Hmm. Dan Gurney was taller than you are, I think he's done all right.

So, on balance, I nominate Cotty.

I had suspected this.  Anyway, it provides a suitable solution to the
