Overheard at Chipperfield's ... part VII ...

Boss and Ronnie have come back from Countryfest ... a little red from too much sun, a little tired from a weekend and fun and ... well ... it would seem that Ross is still lovable old Ross ...

One of the regulars sat down on the couch across from Ross. Ross was reading the morning Paper, checking out the headlines and the latest on the World Cup ...

"Good weekend Ross?" asked the regular as he tucked into a fresh muffin.

"Yeah," replied Ross now reading the comics.

"Went to Countryfest eh?" asked the regular.

"Yes we did," answered Ross as he folded the paper and looked up.

"How was it?" asked the regular, as he lifted his coffee and took a sip.

"Great," replied Ross, "the weather was sunny and warm. There was the odd storm and some light rain, but otherwise it was beautiful. The camp site we had a pretty good. There were lots of other campers, but they were all pretty well behaved where we were, so we didn't have too much noise or too many distractions. The food was really good - a regular cornucopia of selections. The beverage vendors had a wide selection of refreshing beverages from beer to pop to juice. I met up with a tonne of people who I haven't seen in months. I even crossed paths with some of my customers and some of the business associates. I was able to do a bit of networking and business entertaining. It was just a great weekend of relaxation combined with business opportunities, coupled with good food and great beverages ... all in all it was a grand weekend. I'm glad we took the time to go ..."

"How was the music?" asked the regular, looking a bit perplexed.

"Music?" offered a clearly confused Ross, "they had music at Countryfest?"

"Oh Ross," groaned Bonnie from behind the counter, as she shook her head in distain ...
