Keele Reunion & Shakespeare

Had a little reunion with some of my political friends from my early years at Keele Uni last weekend.  Had an enjoyable meeting & meal.  Before that I ferried my friend Juan to Barton Aerodrome for his flight in a bi-plane.  Shame I didn't get to go up myself, it looked like he had an excellent time.  Had a jolly good time at the meal, a merry night was had by all.  Of course people are starting to do grown-up things, like getting married.  Congratulations to Seb & Sophie!  Driving back to the ferry on Sunday was a lovely, despite the roadworks on the M6, as the weather was lovely and I had the roof down on the car.  Though I did get a bit burned The sky was such an incredible gradient of blue at the dock I tried taking a couple of photos with my phone, but they don't really do it justice.  The ferry got delayed a little when leaving, as the luggage cart-train-thing jack-knifed on the ramp down to the boat.  Whoops!

The weekend before I went to see the open air Shakespeare at Peel Castle, everyone came plenty wrapped up, except me, I was fine though It was every bugger else that complained about the cold.  Pah!  Cold? COLD?  I used to walk to schoo' through 30-foot snow drifts!  Wi' no shoes! *ahem*.

In other news... I have realised a long held ambition and well, pic1, pic2 & pic3.
