Lincolnshire Route March (May 2016)
Posted by Richard on Sunday 12th June 2016 at 05:45 PM
Staying with Peter and Rachel for the weekend, we decided to go for a little walk. It turned out to be slightly longer than we'd planned - about 14 miles around Grimsthorpe Castle Park. Great company, fabulous weather, and only a bit of sunburn!
Charlie (July 2014)

We hadn't seen Trevor and Fang for a couple of years, and had yet to meet Charlie, so very pleased we managed to arrange a get-together before they headed back for China.
Water Skiing (July 2013)
Posted by Richard on Thursday 8th August 2013 at 11:13 PM
In July we were back at
Stewartby with Richard and Wendy, but this time with a couple of differences. Firstly, the girls joined us under canvas for the night, and secondly the sun ... well, shone!
Water Skiing (June 2009)

Richard and Wendy invited us up for another overnight camp by the lake at
Stewartby. Incredibly, it didn't rain, nobody got hurt and nothing got broken! The skiing wasn't bad either ...
Tractor Racing (August 2008)

The plan had been for a get-together while Trevor was back in the country. Needless to say, Trevor didn't make it! ;-)
Trampolining (July 2008)
Posted by Richard on Sunday 28th September 2008 at 07:15 PM
Rubbish weather - story of the summer - put pay to the water-skiing, but we still has a nice day with Richard and Wendy. The weather even cleared up enough for a bit of trampolining.
By the Canal (February 2008)
Posted by Richard on Sunday 6th April 2008 at 12:54 PM
On a gorgeous day in early February, I joined Adrian, Sue, James, Lucy and Sophie for a walk by the Basingstoke Canal. (Unfortunately, the other members of the IceCold Crew couldn't be persuaded to get off their ...).
Tractor Racing (August 2007)

We hadn't seen Peter and Rachel in ages, so we invited ourselves up to Lincolnshire for the weekend. Unfortunately (for us) Katharine was in Venezeula, but we still managed to have a good time. See you soon, Katharine! ;-)
Water Skiing (June 2007)

Despite the awful weather of the last two months and the dire predictions for the Fathers' Day weekend, we headed for
Stewartby and another night under canvas with Richard and the boys.
Spring Bank Holiday (May 2005)
Posted by Richard on Thursday 25th August 2005 at 11:56 PM
For the Spring Bank Holiday we headed back to Peter and Rachel's in Lincolnshire. This time with bikes - can you tell the Lance Armstrongs from the Lance Percivals?
Summer Bank Holiday (August 2003)
Posted by Richard on Thursday 27th November 2003 at 12:07 AM
Another fantastic weekend
chez Pete and Rachel. To nobody's great surprise, Trevor failed to materialise. But Jeff did make the trip - with Mrs P. (senior) and the kids.
Easter (April 2003)
Posted by Richard on Tuesday 29th April 2003 at 12:07 AM
Back to Peter and Rachel's for Easter: countryside walks, treasure hunts and Kentish beer!
Halloween (October 2002)
Posted by Richard on Friday 1st November 2002 at 12:07 AM
Our first stay with Peter and Rachel at 'Southfork' (not far from Grantham in Lincolnshire) was just before Halloween. The storm on Sunday morning might have taken down the power lines and put paid to the roast lamb, but it did make for an interesting game of rounders!
Wimbledon Municipal Baths (June 2001)
Posted by Richard on Thursday 19th June 2008 at 10:49 PM
With the T's well-established in their highly des-res, a stone's throw from the All England Club in Wimbledon, we took the opportunity to test the waters of their private pool. Envious? Not a bit!
