Seatoller, Lake District
A few reminders of our weekend
THE USUAL SUSPECTS...
- Charlie "Can I have some more cake, please?" Grant
- Pete "I'll have a pint of shandy (and still leave most of it)" Smith
- Simon "Nice fish, shame about the paper" Piercy
- Tim "Quiet walk, just us & 250 others" Spate
- Dave "Nice fish, shame about the chips" Noble
- Steve "Anita Shazamit" Barker
Friday
Charlie, Simon & Tim head for Keswick, via Leeds, to drop Simon's younger daughter, Anna, back to university - inclucing a cheeky pint, of course!
Charlie was still basking in the glory of bossing the music quiz as they get the weekend's shopping from Booths
At the cottage the top-room fly count was onlty THREE!
With this breed, all the lambs appear to be black
The Usual Suspects
Cheers!
Did the sign writer die? ... Or is this just a sign of the times?

Saturday
The Fleet
We spent the day on the near fells ... along with about 250 others who were doing the "Derwent Dash"
Lunch by the tarn
Piercy Pot Noodle Pic (apologies for the poor quality)
Gaiter Aid
During an early poker game Charlie makes quad 8s
In the evening we get the open-top bus to Keswick. A few beers, a cracking curry and then an 8-seater taxi back home.
Sunday
Wasp nest in the shed
We walk to Keswick, taking in the sights and sounds along the way ...
The roots of this fallen tree apparently defying gravity by hanging on to a lump of granite
We still haven't seen any red squirrels
Tamping down a newly laid path
Steve taking a power nap
Alpacas
Porn stars?
Five manly pints and one girly cup of tea for Sweetie Pete, please!
Back home in time for tea and Tricia's delicious cake!
Charlie's effort to make the tiny TV slightly more viewable for all
Later, Simon drove the rest of us to Keswick (except Pete who had buggered off home) where we went to Casa's Sports Bar, played pool, ordered-in from the pizza house next door and watched the Azerbaijan Grand Prix at the Baku street curcuit
Monday
Tim has a run, we have breakfast, pack up and then Simon and Charlie get the bus one more time to retrieve Simon's car from Keswick
On the way home, Simon gets a punture on the motorway. Audi had supplied the wrong fitting for the wheel type and so we called the AA ... 30 minutes later, spare fitted, we went to Lancaster to get a new tyre ... then home
And finally ...
An anonymous contributer provides evidence of a large fuel bill ...
