A week since my last post! Sorry - that's not "more frequently" as I promised.
Anyway - still busy editing pictures and I'll post a couple of albums maybe this evening. (hopefully!)
It's been a busy week. We decided on Tuesday that I'd book Wednesday afternoon off work and maybe go to watch Belper Town at Market Drayton but after thinking about it and after a text exchange with my mate Tim Harrison, we decided not to go. It's a 2 hour trip from Nortoner Towers and it would have been close to midnight when we got home. With work on Thursday morning that might have been a bit too much at my age!.
Tim went of course - and recorded a fantastic 4-2 win for the mighty Nailers!! See his album here:
Still took Wednesday afternoon off and went to the Cromford Canal (more good advice from Mr Harrison!) and had a grand couple of hours wandering around, enjoying the sunshine. It's a lovely spot - as you'll see from the pictures when I've finished editing them! For reasons unknown, almost all of the pics I took are badly overexposed and a lot of adjustment is needed in Photoshop before they are good enough to put on here.
Saturday meant a trip to watch Belper Town at Glapwell. A ground where we've never won apparently! Anyway - that was put right as Belper emerged 3-0 winners. Tim's album is here:
Needless to say - I'm still editing mine! (Because it's been a very busy weekend)
Sunday - up early and a long drive to Folkestone to meet up with our son and daughter-in-law. They drove down from Rotterdam, through the Channel Tunnel and we met up for a few hours (including Fish and Chips of course) There were one or two items which our son wanted to get back to Holland and so we decided a day out would be perfect. We've done it before and it makes for a long day but it's great to see them! Easter eggs were handed over (they are back on the diet Tuesday I believe!) and they brought us a bag of small gifts from their recent holiday in Israel.
It was a beautiful day and we got back about 8:00 pm last night. As you can see - the tide was out!
Today - off to Belper this afternoon to see the final game of the season and the final game of Andy Carney's tenure as team manager. The new Chairman was at Glapwell and also the new "Executive Director of Sport" - or so the whisper around the ground said. Dunno who this guy is - there has been no official announcement from the Club so we'll wait and see.
The new manager is yet to be appointed. Applications have to be in by 30th April apparently.
Who knows - the changes might be a bit too much for us. The Duchess and I have to decide where we'll be watching our footie next season. It will be a great pity if one of the main attractions of Belper Town for us - the "friendly" atmosphere - is lost but we'll see.
Now it's time for bacon and eggs and then off to Belper to say "Goodbye" to a top bloke, Andy Carney.
