Deputy Barney from the Andy Griffith show

As i am sure most of you know Mount Airy is the home town of Andy Griffith and many believe the whole series is based on Mount Airy. Well today we met Deputy Barney (an 80 year old who conducts tours). He was funny and took quite a shine to the blondes in our group. He acted the part throughout our tour of Mount Airy and even had personlised postcards of himself.

We then drove along the spectacular Blue Ridge parkway which was lovely. Doug and Amanda put a wonderful program together for us. Lunch was suberb and accompanied with a lovely red wine which we all thoroughly enjoyed.

In the afternoon we went shopping which was enjoyable and once again Chris and Steve had thickshakes. After shopping we went to Restaurant 308, toured their winery before sitting down a dinner and a wine tasting consisting of 14 wines. (Tipsy anyone???) Of course Deputy Barney sat next to me at dinner. (I think I have an admirer)

Past previously unrecognised misadventures of the day

We will start with Chris, apparently he fired a gun and he had it too close to his nose so when he pulled the trigger it came back and hit him in the snoz.

Last night during our presentation Tony, our team leader, forgot a whole segment of his speech until Jo kindly asked "Are you going to talk about your occupation" everyone though it was funny.

"LET'S GET IT ON...."
