Big adventure today we went up to a l ittle town called Weston.north west of Kansas City in Missouri,and had a nice Lunch in O'Malleys pub/restaurant,they brew their own beer,and the young lady waitress succumbed to my charming ways and brought 4 samples of their beers to try,needless to say,after trying them I had no need to buy any,but as ever I spent money liberally and bought a six pack of mixed bottles.
The weather was brilliant sunshine and lovely countryside but it was too cold to walk around for long,so we drove down to Fort Leavenworth,and saw the military base and the very imposing penitentiary,where all good accountants and politicians could end up,we crossed back over the wide missouri(about as wide as the river trent at gainsborough) and back down the valley to Kansas City,all good cowboy picture names are'nt they?oh yes and I bought a small bottle of local distillery whiskey which should last the holiday out,it is very nice George much better than johnnie walker!
We have Mary Sue to thank for very good maps and directions,otherwise it would have been a tricky journey finding our way around.
Tonight MM is back from Baltimore so its back to water and raw carrots for all!!
Yesterday we crossed the Oregon trail,and today the trail of the two blokes who went across America to the pacific,must have been tough blokes, cos sheila kept looking up at the hills for injuns,and spotted smoke signals but it was the distillery chimney,luckily for us.
Disturbing news that farmer joe has spent the rent money,it looks like a diet of whatever Martin shoots when we get back,must go now to hide the whiskey from Montana Mike.
Graham,news at five Kansas.
ps I think the parcels have stopped arriving Sonia.

What a pity Weston was closed for the winter, it is a nice place to walk around with interesting shops selling western stuff.
Kansas cold is different to ours isn't it?
Hope the snow holds off so you can get out and about
