Nearer 50 than 49...

So this is really a round-robin email rather than a blogpost, but hopefully seeing it here will shame me into writing something about something sometime.

I think this might be a rather spiffing social event. But then I would wouldn't I...

N.B. If you know me IRL and have NOT had this by email, then I do not have your email address. Please send it to reednick66@yahoo.com (I don't really use the gmail address) to rectify this unfortunate situation.

Dear Everyone

 

Hope this finds you well and happy. In far too many cases this will be the first time I've been in touch for a while; if this applies to you sorry to be so flaky, it's been a busy year but that's really no excuse.

 

As of yesterday I am less than six months away from turning 50. Sure I'm supposed to say yikes or gulp or doooooommmmm but actually I'm quite looking forward to it. Also, regularly being referred to as "young man" in Masham helps keep the spirit up; I'm perfectly happy to believe that says more about me than about the population of my idyllic adopted town.

 

The big day is 30th January 2016, which as luck would have it is a Saturday, and there will be a party at Masham Town Hall to celebrate. Hopefully featuring live music and top DJing of a sort not seen since our wedding, and certainly featuring lashings of good local ale. There's a large downstairs room with quieter entertainments for children or non-lovers of loud music. 

 

There's plenty to do in and around town during the day, and I dare say there will also be gatherings on Friday evening and Sunday brunchtime.

 

Please save the date make every effort to come, it would be great to celebrate with you.

 

With love from me and Jan
