hovering |
In
the Peace Gardens, about to do Knees Up with some confused Pig Dyke
members |
 |
 |
It
was tricky to keep some of the side out of the fountains, especially
those who'd had a shandy at lunchtime |
For
some reason though, Jameson needed a little persuasion to go in .... |
 |
 |
....
but eventually he did .... |
.....
as a result of which several of the side were a little damp |
 |
 |
Late
in the afternoon at the Brown Bear pub, Jameson showing the effects of a
heavy day's dancing |
A
nice respectable evening meal at Piccolino's Italian restaurant .... |
 |
 |
....
with Jameson respectably dressed at the start of the evening .... |
.....
before various items were added during the meal ..... |
 |
 |
.....
including a wide variety of headgear ..... |
....
and of course the tutu and fairy wings |
 |
 |
Later,
Bob had trouble keeping out of the Lee / Jameson crossfire .... |
.....
though as Jameson later sobered up .... |
 |
 |
.....
others started to struggle a bit. |
On
the way back to the hotel in full regalia |
 |
 |
Next
morning, an enthusiatic Paul starts 2 by 2 outside Bakewell Tourist
Information ..... |
....
before everyone moved onto Matlock for a set in a quiet Hall Leys Park
... |
 |
 |
....
though we managed to assemble a small audience ..... |
....
before Jameson was led up the Magic Arch in the final dance |
 |
 |
Later
in the afternoon several of us did the Masson Hill walk ........ |
.....
with some of the side taking the shortcut through the wall |
 |

At
the end of the weekend, there was some lively banter on the minibus home |
