Well an excellent weekend. Back to the UK via Ryan Air (a huge raspberry to those that want to keep putting air-fares up) and back home. Plans for Saturday were scrubbed by the weather. Rain , Rain Rain. Still managed to fit in a visit to the local pub. You cannot beat a good pint of British beer. And to soak it up - yes fish and chips.
Next day was off to Brick Kiln for a play day with the Shire Landrover Club. Great day out with a really nice bunch of people. The picture here shows my chums Ibex pulling out a Range Rover. Its not a defeat for the Range Rover as he was only shod on three of his wheels at the time.
On the Saturday I had called in to the local butcher. His wife was telling everyone about winning prizes for her sausages. Well would have been churlish not to buy some so Sunday dinner was pork sausages with chives and new potatoes. I must say they were delicious.
Flight back on Monday morning was interesting. Boarded ok for a 06:35 takeoff and then sat on the tarmac for three hours waiting for the wind to die down so we could take off. Still allowed me a couple of hours nap.
