Forecast; Thunderstorms. Wind, light to moderate. Temp, 20 - 35. Tide; High = low, Low = very. Moon, New. Barometer, 1002, rising.

It was our first DDO & being a sticky beak I borrowed a couple of small nephews for the weekend in order to see how things panned out. Having collected James & Wilson Young from their grateful parents,  "Are sure you want to have them Saturday & Sunday at no charge to us?"  I headed up the New England Highway.
