Last weekend our Christmas bash went off with a "Heave Ho, me
hearteys". And that was from the Lock Keeper, over the tannoy, as
we sailed free of the lock on the estuary in Ipswich. Srsly!
We hired the
The Old Neptune in Ipswich from Friday to
Sunday. You have to look at all the pictures on the site. This
place is truly awesome. It's called an Inn, and maybe it was once,
but basically it's a huge old house with abundant character. And we
had it all to ourselves. The courtyard alone is so lovely that I'm
thinking we have to experience it again during Summer.
Programme of events:
- Friday night: Arrive. Nom and drinks in front of the fire.
- Saturday: Gokarting. Pirating aboard The Black Thistle (Ok it's really just The Thistle ) and drinking until loaded to the gunwales. Banquet.
- Sunday: Chill for the day. Eat the leftovers. Drink the
leftovers. Head back.

I didn't attend, but it looks like you all had a great time.
I'm especially envious as the Old Neptune Inn is less than a mile from my house, but I have never been inside!
