is on again this year on the 6th November celebrating friendship. We are offering IKAC in the morning, sausage in a bun for lunch, Heavy Tourney in the afternoon and a potluck feast in the evening.<\/p>\n
So am I as the rich, whose blessed key
\nCan bring him to his sweet up-locked treasure,
\nThe which he will not every hour survey,
\nFor blunting the fine point of seldom pleasure.
\nTherefore are feasts so solemn and so rare,
\nSince, seldom coming, in the long year set,
\nLike stones of worth they thinly placed are,
\nOr captain jewels in the carcanet.
\nSo is the time that keeps you as my chest,
\nOr as the wardrobe which the robe doth hide,
\nTo make some special instant special blest,
\nBy new unfolding his imprison’d pride.
\nBlessed are you, whose worthiness gives scope,
\nBeing had, to triumph, being lack’d, to hope.<\/p>\n
– William Shakespeare<\/p>\n
