Send a photograph and I'll consider putting you on the list.
Morninks and evenincks I drinks Warninks? Not I. Eggs essential for the Christmas Cake, Yorkshire puddings and a proper breakfast. The last can be any of Poached (at which I am rather more misser than hitter - ending too hard), fried - with proper accoutrements of crispy streaky bacon, Andreas Cumberland sausage, fried bread etc. or a slightly less rare treat scrambled on toast. The microwave being fine for that last and also infuriates the better cooks (as it did Ma when I used the de-humidifier to show her how to ensure her icing set. Once only, and it explains why I then had to take over the Christmas cake-making. She was a great cook but hated it, a job for staff).

We had an old family joke - "If we had eggs, we could have eggs on toast, if we had bread."
Or, there was that old morning request of my Dad's, "How would you like your boiled eggs fried, poached?" Anything to egg you people on ... When is the Golden Dreamer coming to New Zealand? Mind you, it'll have come a long way up the Manawatu River to get to where I am. No hens here, just a great big dairy factory. Take a trip down when the weather is finer, in Jan-Feb. A nice 12500 mile jaunt for New Year 2025. We can arrange some Maori's to do the Haka (without a rugby field) to welcome you. Anything for a laugh!

A capital idea, I'll get the Noble Lord to do a Passage Plan, he's refitted ECDIS with triode valves.
As regards the Haka, it's a busted flush, we Irish regularly whupp the All Blacks. With and without McCaw. And no leg of lamb for Christmas lunch. The Manawatu River holds no fear for us, we've run aground in better rivers, the old Suez River can be a wee bit tricky and the locals a bit uppity if you touch bottom on their, or rather our, waterway. So KTF my Harrissey friend and start your preps.

Well, McCaw is well gone, and the AB's are pretty much owned by some company, Silverlake, in the US nowadays. I'm not sure how this new coach, Robertson, will do with them. Keep beating them Ireland! They're far too high up the scale with a 76% win rate over all other teams.
Many legs of lamb can be provided for such esteemed company in our Southern Seas and I'm sure we could do chickens and cheese and ice cream to please all. You'll never get up the Manawatu River - at no point is it as wide as the Ever Given was long. If we had a plug that size in it, the Central Districts would be under water, and it would be fresh water too, not your sort of thing at all unless you want to weaken your Whisky. BTW, what's KTF and Harrissey? I'm from Berwick-upon-Tweed, but live in NZ, hence tweediekiwi, but it's normally too hot for Harris Tweed here. I look forward to hearing more of your plans and trips. A great diversion from normal life.

Keep The Faith and buy yourself a Harris Tweed sports coat, it doesn't have to be the jaggy tweed the Laird of IOM wears. And no leather elbows.
Chicken, cheese and ice cream is a bit of stramash, just stick to turkey.

This sainted Isle has its own lamb, thanks. As for tweed. The family fortune was founded on worsted (or more precisely on the ill-treated backs of Old John V's mill workers) rather than the rougher stuff that the sainted Isle to our West favours.
As it happens I have just had Pa's corduroy jacket 'done' with cuff patches (not leather, no one's got the stitching gear I gather). V smart I'll look now! WRT saints and ensainting. Are there more than two societies responsible for their classification or can anyone go around appointing ensandled brown people they find wrangling devils and turning water into wine? (That last. Presumably not many methodist or ICS appointees - mainly LR, Canterbury office and RINA, Rome I guess). (RINA probably better than LR for wine. Anyone tasted Rougemont Castle?)
