They're looking for a chef at the "Church" in Uppermill - honest ! What they should do in the meantime is to "keep it simple"- my liver & onions - fine, but the "fancy dan lasagne" didn't quite work. Reasonable prices, so in a way we got what we paid for. On the beer side however, the Saddleworth Brewery "IPA" was top notch - and only £1-90 a pint (i.e. 90p - yes 90p - a pint cheaper than what I paid in the "George & Dragon" in Belper about 18 hours later......).
Belper - a "Royal Ascot" themed party involving hats and race games - followed by a trip to the pub to meet the Belper chaps and watch some football (the irony was that the £2-80 beer I was drinking came all the way from .... up here - well Blackburn - Thwaites "Wainwright" - very nice - but - £2-80 ??? answers on a postcard please). We watched Spain "scrawp it" and then I returned to the M-I-L bash ....
Today was walkies - as predicted - once we go out of a 40 minute queue on the A6 due to some goon 'cocking up' at the "bridge chicane" at Whatstandwell - ended up in Wye Dale (just outside Buxton) for three hours-worth of stroll - a couple of snaps from same ...
First the "mysterious innards" of Chee Dale - somewhere up to the right there were a load of "cragrats" playing with ropes and shouting a lot ..
For those who "really" want to know - all those "white dots" over the water are actually midges - those irritating little barstewards that make (for example) Crowden campsite a "no-no" these days
