under another sun

So up early on a Sunday, as we got ready to go to the races. An unlikely turn of events, but thanks to Plumpton Races members Adele and Patrick, we were treated to an excellent day. Adele drove us off to the racecourse and they patiently explained the betting and so on, and looked at the horses thundering around from a series of vantage points... The finish line, by the side of one of the jumps, from the stands, from the members area, and in the bar. Lorraine and I had £20 each to bet. Lorraine made most of her £20 back on an each way bet. The last race before we left, I put my last fiver on Jersey Lady. This is the nag that Patrick backed too, and he seemed curiously certain it was going to win, and win it did. I got £55 back for my £5 outlay which was rather miraculous. Who says nothing good comes from Jersey?  Great fun hanging out with Adele and Patrick for the afternoon. Surprisingly busy and full of entertainments... Singers in the bar, a place where a child had a Madagascan ...
