The Woolpack should be fine for me this week. I'm surprised Mr Sheep is complaining about sitting outside when he was wrapped in a thermal shawl last time.
Re the curry the following week, is there any chance that the start time could be 8pm rather than 9pm? I suspect not, but I thought that I'd ask. If I could start my return journey by 10pm, I would have an outside chance of getting home on the same day.
