Hello from sunny Retford

Hi Iain, Kath & Brian

Well it's been a week now since we arrived back in Retford (and yes it is sunny today!) and are now getting very envious of you lot being out in Lanza, not sure we could cope with all the hard work and long hours though, although the sunshine would compensate a bit.

Have seen quite a lot of good reviews of your boozer on the web site so you must be doing something right. Funnily enough when we arrived back we found that a couple and their kids who lived in our street had left to live in Lanza with the hope of running a bar. Not sure where though, so if you bump into a couple in their early 30's called Richard & Sharon with 2 youngsters Daniel & Conor asking you about bars etc. you'll know where they're from.

Also, we put the word about when we got back about your bar but most people we know already use it. The chap who owns the apartment we stayed in knows all 3 of you, he's called Kevin - last time he came was in mid Feb. and he came with a chap called John, they're both prison officers and in their early 50's - Kev arrived back in the UK with alcohol poisoning so I reckon we can probably blame that on Iain's little green cocktails, although I think Becky's free "Baby Guinesses" in Route 66 are more likely to blame.

Anyway best of luck out there with the bar & don't forget if anyone comes in from Retford the chances are they're staying in Kev's place.

All the best - will see you next year all being well

Paul & Susan
