Yes folks I know I said I would lead the Thursday walk this week, but I
<br>
lied, inadvertently you understand; at the time I was unaware of the <br>
true state of affaires.  However now I see the truth which is that Her
<br>
Majesty has invited me to attend a party in a garden on her special <br>
day.  Of course I'm not a raving monarchist  (however I am prepared
to <br>
defend the place of the monarchy in our peculiar democracy) and I would
<br>
rather be walking and talking with you lot but needs must when that <br>
devil is in charge. <br>
<br>
So I gave the kitty to John and Peter L and they said that they could <br>
come up with a walk.  Maybe this is a gentle reminder. Anyway I'll see
<br>
you all again on June 9th.  And, if there are no other takers, I'll
<br>
think of something for then. <br>
<br>
Happy Jubileeing <br>
