Harmstock 2010

Harmstock was just as good as always.  Lots of good beer, lots of good music, what more could you want - well a bit of proper August weather perhaps?  It was bloody freezing and blowing a gale.

K and I were joined by Pete, Ginny, Ted, Yvette, Steve, Nick, Jo, Tony, Andy and George (who was working).  My favourite tipple was the Beijing Black, a mild from the Potbelly Brewery in Kettering.

Macclesfield with Ian and Louise

It was off to visit Ian and Louise in Cheshire at the weekend.  I took the train from Saxilby International - it's a beautiful journey across the Peak District.  Keren was working in Macclesfield so she picked me up from the station.

The house is great and it was brilliant to see them, Louise's baby is due next week so we tried not to put her to too much effort!  Had a meal out and a couple of pints on the Friday night.  On Saturday we went for a walk in the countryside with Bailey the beagle before heading back East.

Really great to see them both and we won't leave such a long gap before the next visit.

The Blues Brothers aka Su's Brothers

Saturday night and it was off to Su and Quentin's in Amersham for Su's birthday party. It was an important birthday but I'm not going to tell you which one.

The family had organised a terrific party with food and wine and music - there was a stage and dancefloor set up in the garden and were entertained by a Blues Brothers tribute act.

Top quality evening - happy birthday Su!
