Up into Northumberland National Park on Friday evening, with the caravan.

Fish n chips from the chip van in Powburn on Friday night.

Ingram sheep dog trials Saturday morning. Walk up to Linhope Spout Saturday afternoon. Watching geese and bats over the flooded gravel pits Saturday evening.

Watched that documentary about bombs on NHE. Watched Apt Pupil with Ian McKellen.

Read a bit of me book.

Drank a bottle of merlot, 3 cans of IPA and a couple of G&Ts.

Come home this afternoon, picked the raspberries and made a crumble.

This sort of stuff makes me feel guilty about doingnack all except going to pub.
 
Spent the long weekend in a brilliant BnB near Ypres - visited the Menin Gate and a couple of WW1 museums/grave sites, all sombre stuff. On a non-sombre note had a great time talking daft and drinking some tasty Belgian beers (nothing under 6.6%) with a few biker mates; we gave a load of grief to the guy who decided to book us all on 'Le Tunnel' to save £60 against travelling from Hull - silly sod forgot about the four full tanks and £80 of petrol to do the 500 mile round trip from Folkestone <doh> - add that to the mile after mile of traffic + roadworks on the southern roads, the A1 being closed at Peterborough and the general fatigue of the slog, he got away fairly light with some piss taking. Football, who needs it?
 
Been down in that there London with Mrs Tash looking after my Granddaughter, while daughter and husband had weekend away

Kew Gardens yesterday, bit of a wander round shops and eateries today. Really nice time

Challenged a barman today though when he tried to charge me £8.95 for one pint and a small lime and soda!
Barman “that’ll be £8.95 please”
Dennis “no it won’t”
Barman “sorry?”
Dennis “I should think you are”
Barman “........”
Dennis “I often drink in here and that pint’s not much over a fiver”
Barman “£5.30”
Dennis “there you go..,so you really reckon you’re going to charge me £3.65 for a dash of lime cordial and a squirt of soda water?!...I don’t think you are” (I failed to mention the fresh lime he’d cut to go in it)
Barman “ahh...ok...£5.45 then?”
Dennis”...err...yeah that’s fine”

I’m available to sort that Brexit stuff out if either side needs a tough negotiator with a proven track record.
