NOTES
1) My brother in law John has sent me some jokes so I am going to pass them on to you as a series called ‘John’s Jokes’. No doubt you will have heard some of them before but it’s always good to have a laugh even if it’s only at the same old things.
2) Come on Bob, wrap it up now please, I’m falling asleep here – YAWN!

COMMENTS FROM THE POTTING
Jeanette Don’t worry the boot will be on the other foot soon enough. There are quite a few nice gates at Castle Howard, I will be showing you some more in time.
