After a Rather Boozy evening following the BBQ at which Sally invited Sharon & Mike to look around our friends Lisa & Jim's building project and i invited them to a bit of "offroading" with our 2 landrovers. Sally appeared bright as a button on Monday morning but having no recollection of the invitation!! Shades of the days when Sharon lived next door but one.
Anyway! having met up with Sharon & Mike at 10:30 we realised their holiday let was next door to our friend Peter. Later in the day I e mailed him and ticked him off for not seeing Sharon. His reply was typical Peter "I'll put some pants on and go round then" !
I took Mike over our logging routes with both the Freelander & the Defender telling him how we used to cane the Landrovers in the Army. He seemed to enjoy the experience. Sharon was with Sally and Lisa having a girlie natter. We all then had a guided tour of the Reservoir building project and both Sharon and Mike cant understand why the Peak Park is being so obstructive in granting permission to use it as a residence.
The idea then was to go and look at the "nine ladies stone circle" but as it was getting on we opted for lunch up at the "Grouse" above Froggett. Its got to be our favourite lunch spot and as usual the food was very good.
Next stop was Chatsworth and a walk from the car park up to the hunting tower and back. A quick stop at the Devonshire in Beeley and then back to ours to put all Sharons photos on a DVD as she had filled up the card in the camera.
I then dropped off the weary travellers back at the holiday let and was asked to text them the phone number of the Shalemar Indian Restaurant. I did that about half an hour later.
This morning they reported that even though they got the text they crashed out in front of the TV and log fire!!!
