Mike's Memorial, Prince Hall Hotel, Two Bridges, Dartmoor - 12th July 2011

It's Mike's remembrance do at Prince Hall Hotel, near Two Bridges in the heart of Dartmoor. There's a good turnout of close friends and family, and the setting, and food, is fantastic. A major moment is when Harold reveals that he still has a bottle of 1987-vintage Harrow wine - a vintage which Nosher did several rounds of pruning, summer work and picking on. Not surprisingly, it proves undrinkable, on account of being some 24 years old, but it's still a bit of a moment as it's uncorked.
