We met up with Matt at Bernies for lunch. Can't remember what we did in the afternoon, but I'm sure we did something useful.
6pm saw us driving to Settle to The Craven Arms where we met up with Matt's friends, The Leighs. They had been in Bolton Abbey for the day and wanted to meet up with us as they are coming to Deer Shed with us but won't be able to arrive until late. They brought their tent with them, so we can pitch it next to ours so we are together. This is especially important this year as the festival is booked out!

We hadn't actually met Roz or their younger son, Louis before, but they are that sort of family where you instantly feel at ease with them and feel like old friends. Andrew and Fabien stayed with us earlier in the year. Tom and Fabien were friends instantly and Andrew was lovely. Turns out Roz and Louis are lovely too. We had forgotten they were veggies, so were quite lucky in that the restaurant had a lot of veggie options - imaginative ones too. I went for tofu green curry and it was amazing - the tofu had been deep fried in a really good seasoning which made it ultra delicious. So they were very happy.
We got home quite late in the end, but it didn't matter - it had been a good, friendly evening.
Sunday was Father's Day. Tom had had an idea of what to get Matt way back in March, he gave me exact instructions, but in the end I took him to Booths so he could do it himself. He bought him Emmenthal, Jarlsberg, Cashew Nuts and 2 cans of Elvis Juice. All Matt's favourite things - he was a happy bunny.
We had breakfast together and then Bob came to pick up Tom as he was spending the day with them whilst Matt and I headed off to the Isle of Man.
