Sorry you were unable because of the weather to send any photos of your rugged cross country safaris but glad you were able to partake of a festive meal at the Hawby Hotel. We have really enjoyed seeing your antics over the years and envy the friendships you have with your fellow grey panthers. We study the photos, read your comments and try to place ourselves in the pictures then look forward to the next weeks walk. So I do feel very remiss in not contacting you more often to say how much we enjoy sharing with you and your friends , the experiences you have. I would imagine you have hilarious tales to tell each other on occasions and I wonder who tells the best. Please pass on to the other Grey Panthers our best wishes for the festive season and hope the New Year is successful and we hope to meet up with you all in the next few weeks, weather permitting.
