A number of people have asked me for the words to the song which I sang at the dinner on Friday, so here they are. Those of you who were not there ought to have no difficulty figuring out the tune!

Anyone interested in the story behind the song, well, I'm busily writing up my Challenge Blog now, and will let you know when it is completed.
