I became disheartened with my blog over the Easter holidays, but am now back with a vengeance, since I received an e-mail from Wifey to say that she had blogrolled me!!!
On Easter Saturday "The Fam" (i.e. my husband, 2 sons & 2 dogs) went to the Whittington Point to Point Races, near Kirkby Lonsdale. My husband & I met at this event 22 years ago and we haven't been since. The horse racing is really incidental, as everybody goes to be noticed in their expensive 4x4s and see who can throw the most lavish picnic. The prize this year definitely went to a couple who had a solid fuel Aga craned into the middle of the field!!! Have they never heard of disposable barbeques???
The day was made even more memorable as I fell in love with the alpacas from www.whynotalpacas.co.uk who had a stand at the races. Unfortunately, my hubbie does not appear to be minded to part with £1,500.00 for a pair!!! I can't possibly understand why???

I guess that's saying 'and have you noticed the Aga' in capitals, emboldened, underlined and italicised, oh and with the largest font they can find. Sad really.
I hope they were burning cowpats.
Lovely image though.
Is there any connection with you and your guy having met at the Races and Not Having Returned Since?
I hope you dont think he might sell you like The Mayor of Casterbridge??
Whittington Point to Point sounds a merry event with its throng of Big Cars and Big Picnics.
I went to a concert/picnic at a castle in the north last summer.....
one group had Liberace ( you will no doubt remember him if you are menopausal...)candelabra,a maid in black dress and frilly white pinafore and a large Wolfhound tethered nearby to a tree ( a massive English Oak, of course...)
I have just found your blog this evening and have enjoyed it.
