To The Hills!!

I shall be driving over to the Llanberis pass this evening in preparation for a 5:00am start on the Snowden Horseshoe tomorrow morning. So a bit of packing up the truck to sleep in and getting all the gear ready, reading the various route descriptions on the net and charging up the cameras.

The weeks shifts in the shop were ok and I noticed that there were quite a number of Londoners around.  I talked to a lady yesterday who had the family in tow asking for pancakes which unfortunately we don't stock at the moment.  She was waxing lyrical at how the local Fish and Chip shop had absolutely no idea what a Savaloy was and how plentiful they were ddaan saaf.  One of her children then interrupted and said "do you have toilets here?" I smiled and said no we just do it in the river!  much sniggering from the whole family!!

Met a couple of old gremlins from the past this week not a completely enjoyable experience but a walk across kinder sent them back to their lair.  The heather is in flower and looks magnificent just now.  The little white squares are Bee Hives placed especially so the Bees get the nectar and taste of the heather flowers.


I had a look at the new re-cycling facility Wednesday and it wasn't too busy i guess the weekend will be the tester for how busy it can get.  I'm intending to try it this morning just to see what you can dump/recycle.

Deborah bless her has been keeping me up to speed on what she, the 2 children and parents have been up to in Whitby.  She has sent a couple of pics and in 1 on Tuesday she looked quite tired.  They are all back home Saturday and no doubt she will be washing and ironing for a couple of days to get over the holiday!  Must take her out for a Chatsworth garden picnic before it gets too cold.  She's taking her Motorcycle Module 1 test again next week, fingers crossed even harder this time.

We are off to Saltburn by The Sea on Saturday to visit Sally's ex for a birthday barbecue should be a hoot from some of the stories she tells of past events.  Pics next week!

Just feeding the wild birds at the top of the garden and noticed how cool it is this morning, there are also some plums and apples on the ground.  Is Autumn just around the corner?

Ok, To horse and get on with the chores!
