Oli and Panda Christie, Clare and I went to The Nook for supper last night.. We thought it would be a good idea to see what it was like before my night  there next week (sell out).. We enjoyed our night and the food was good..

This email arrived last night from Wyn and Helen

'Just a note to thank you so much for your warm welcome this morning, the lovely breakfast and the tour of the immaculate stables and gallops.  We thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity of meeting you and having a back stage view of such a prestigious racing yard.  It was lovely to see happy staff who obviously enjoyed their work along with quality horses.'
