hello Oldgit-that sounds rude, what's your name?

i remember in a previous post you were reminiscing about Joss Naylor, the famous fell-runner from Wasdale.

Are you aware of the DVD of his 60th birthday run around 60 peaks in the Lakes? We have it and it's excellent stuff-it's available from this website, which also has lots of other great stuff:

Joss's DVD is the 3rd one down, item SEPD0026.

Hel and I attempted to do part of Waiwright's itinerary for this one and failed miserably (as did Wainwright! - too much in each day)) but the scenery was awesome:

1) when you get a bit older they are a bit big for you to ride just yet.
2) well they could but i don't think they would

Dexter cows for you.... belong to same Aussie lady who has the ponies...we provide the grass

Cheers Peter (Oldgit)

"Treat em mean keep em keen! "
I thought that was the rule us women followed nowadays!

travelbug

Thanks again for the pics!
I have a question for you locals.... What kind of cows are used for the cheese that the Island is famous for? (i love all kinds of cheese! )
and is all the cheese produced on King Island or on the main island itself?

Boy its been hot here today.....temperature was 32degrees when we got in our car earlier - did go down a bit - but it's still in the high 20's!
Certainly not used to this good weather in May - it's been nice for almost a week now - and i think its set to continue for a bit longer...

hows the weather been for everyone where you are???

So hot yesterday afternoon that when i got in from work we decided to go on a picnic for the evening....
Went to a place i will miss terribly when we eventually move as i've spent a lot of time over the years there.... Bedfords Park in Havering Atte Bower, just 5mins drive from where we currently live. My dad has although a gardener for his job - was always a fisherman in his leisure time - and i spent many days as a child over the fishing lake here with him, my Mum and my brothers....the park is a historic parkland site owned and managed by the London Borough of Havering. There's now a big visitors centre built on the site of the former mansion there, and depending on where you are the park commands superb views over much of east London and into Kent......the trees are absolutely beautiful and they have lots of protected deer there.
Sometimes with countryside like this on our doorstep i do wonder why we want to move from Essex......but then i drive back home and realise why all over again!

Anyway, if anyone's interested - Here's a couple of pics of the kids last night enjoying themselves at the park....

Hey Cathy with them pics you trying to tempt us over to Romford????
As for cheese there is lots of places that make cheese over here one of the companies is called Ashgrove http://www.ashgrovecheese.com.au/ they do all sorts of flavours. Another place is out past Scottsdale heading towards St Helens on the east coat. Pyganna(Probalby not spelt right) In Launceston there is a shop called Warsthaus which does lots of nice cheese from all over.
