Ian B's Birthday card

By geoff

 


This is Ian’s birthday card from his son. The Grape has moved into their family folk lore and stems from a time many years ago when one winter ride the EV were huddled in a café eating lunch and someone asked where Ian was. I replied “outside sucking on a grape”. This caused much amusement, as Ian was noted for being a frugal eater and usually had a healthy snack with him while we were all in the café eating naughty dinners.

I am posting this because I think the card is very witty and also I like caricature of Ian. I hope you all enjoy it too.

If 2 people are in a room for 4 (or 6) they will both be able to have a lower bunk I have worked out the cost on the basis of 2 people sharing each roo...
