"Hello Bernard"

Five waving poets: some of the better-looking participants of our poets' retreat, lined up to give YoungPoet a wave, as he couldn't join us this time. The blokes are off practising their guitar playing for tonight's jollity - doubtless quavering at the prospect of performing without the benefit of Bernard's expert tweaking of guitar strings.

Having a fab time. There are now fourteen of us gathered together (two more arrived this afternoon), and another arrives tomorrow. What fun! Oh, yes - and we've even done some writing.
