Friday Night, Saturday Morning and Saturday Afternoon

Friday Night was good, thanks folks. Nice to see one or two new faces. Interesting that although 18 showed for the pub session, only five showed for the run; good to see that you've got your priorities right.

Saturday Morning was wet, very. Five of us toed the starting line and although birthday boyYJ, still nursing his sciatica, dropped back very early on, he still managed to catch up the main group on both the Pike and Two Lads. KLM and TLoB had other fish to fry and dropped off early, leaving yours truly to struggle on like a lone drenched rat behind the pied piper (aka NLN or Relentless of Aspull). We managed 13 and a bit waterlogged miles, nevertheless deemed it a good morning out. I dread to think what a bad morning out would be like.

In the meantime TF was giving the Three Shires a seeing to, well done, as you said, just Ennerdale next year and you've got the full set!

Saturday Afternoon ~ Also being given a seeing to, was Brentford Town, beaten 3:1 at home by PNE. Most, if not all, of the Swift clan were born less than a mile from Deepdale, so even though we're not generally avid supporters, it's difficult not to enjoy TLoB's discomfort.

Finally, and just because the weekend was generally devoid of colour, here's a bit of sunshine:-

My sunflowers, backed by next door's crab apples and shed.
