Maybe I'll make it to the NEXT Frog and Frigate reunion...

Started to panic about the night out down The Frog. I would be leaving Clare and Harry for a long time, and be too far away from them and not able to get back in a hurry. Thought just staying in Fareham would be the better option and I'd be home earl...
