I was doing the accounts for our week at the races in Cheltenham and realised that we (I) was going to be a little out-of-pocket and then I looked again..

Blimey! We own an 11 bedroom Manor House in the most lovely bit of the Cotswolds for the weekend and nobody’s going to enjoy it.

We can house up to 16 people, we have a huge kitchen, stacks of food and wine and we are only 55 miles from London.

Then I thought we have 283 people in the pensions playpen and there’s 750 people I know through Linked in and there’s about 50 of you a day who read this blog and even if we’ve only met on the web I’m sure you are fun.

Then I thought, for £50 a day, we could all have a great time and a whole load of friendships could be made and fun had and wine drunk and food cooked and walks walked and tennis played and songs sung.

So if you would like to come on the evening of Friday March 19th or on Saturday or on Sunday and if you’d like to stay on Friday or Saturday or Sunday night or all three then why not? Bring your wife, lover, kids- (sadly not your dogs because we can’t do pets).

We will eat communally but if you’d like to eat out that’s fine. We’ll divvy up the meal costs and settle between ourselves.

All the details about our house are on http://www.manorcottages.co.uk/cottages/home-farm–13-.html and there’s a map showing how to get there.

All you have to do is contact me on 07785 377768 or mail henry.h.tapper@googlemail.com.  Bill,Karen, Kim and I will give you all the payment details and manage everything.

You just turn up and enjoy!
