Many thanks to Sue who provided the venue and the breakfast which was a fabulous spread including; sausage, bacon, garlic mushrooms, home-made baked beans and the Laird's breakfast of scambled eggs with smoked salmon.
Thank you to everyone who walked and donated water and bars for the bombeiros. Sue took these round to the old school at Gorgoes where they are stationed. They were very happy and took Sue's number. The Comandante phoned to thank her personally for our donations.
