Barbon Hill Climb and Hayfever.

Saturday
Old Car smoking
Not a great day for me.  I was full of hay fever and feeling very sorry for myself, so I stayed at home whilst Tom and Matt played.  They headed over to Barbon for the annual Barbon Hill Climb, we tried to go last year but it was cancelled due to heavy rain - that wasn't going to happen this week - it has been sunny for a while now.

Spectator
The boys enjoyed themselves, saw lots of interesting cars, one accident and managed to get themselves a great spot under a tree but near enough to the track to enjoy the atmosphere.

The only time it rained in a month!
In the evening we were invited to the Bickerstaffs for a BBQ.  They had meat (Janine, Jack and Seth are veggie).  Think it was a thank you for helping after Janine's op.  Now it had been sunny all day but literally as we tucked into our burgers the heavens opened and it poured down.  We were typically stoical about it and remained outside in the downpour under a parasol until we finished our meal.  Typical, just as we finished, the sun came out again, and get this, some parts of Ingleton didn't get rained on at all!!!!!

Sunday
A quiet. day.  Matt played cricket in Kirkby and we stayed at home.  We were going to try to get into the pool for the afternoon session, but the alarm kept going off every time we locked the front door, so much so that I had to call the alarm company to sort it out.  It took a good 15 mins which then meant that we didn't have a chance of getting into the pool, so we had a play in the river and then came home for mushroom pasta.
