The plan for yesterday was for me to cross the Pennines to meet up with m'colleague Neil for a game of Maurice, the next in our Succession War. The Wintersmith and Storm Arwen had other ideas however and Neil woke up to 4 inches of snow on his street. The Snake Pass and Woodhead Pass were both closed due to heavy snowfall so we had to abandon the fixture.
So here is Giovanni Di Tripponi, the latest Notable attracted to my cause who was set to be appointed as my Chief Of Staff. We shall have to resume our war on another weekend, when the passes have reopened.
