We were ready about 11. After a couple of tests runs and some adjustments, we then went round to see how Brian, Rachel and Eden were getting on. We set off about 11.35. Brian and Eden had a bad start and a few tears, Brian made some adjustments so she was more confident with her new wheels and she was later heard to be singing “If you're happy and you know it clap your hands....”On arrival at the pub, I really enjoyed the half of Dragon's Fire that I had. We ordered food and persuaded the staff that we wanted to sit in the garden even though a table had been reserved and set out for us inside. I had another half of Dragon's Fire and the Neame Mild too. For dinner I was tempted by the toasted panini's but decided to have the Moulés Mariniere as this it's not served in many places. Everyone enjoyed their food. We decided that it would be safer for Brian and Eden if we went back the same way that we had come. Once home and bikes put away, we made a quick trip to Tesco for BBQ food while Dave got coals hot. Martin soon joined us when we got home and later Chippy, Sam and Emily. We had a lovely time sitting in the garden eating and drinking. Martin stayed with us for Doctor Who. Kat has even started watching this season!
At Chris's we watched “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus”. Another very strange film. One I doubt I will watch again. It was directed by Terry Gillam and is very “pythonesque”. This was also one of the films that was being filmed when Heath Ledger died. Another great young actor lost. The second film that we watched was “Bedazzled” which is one of my favourite films. It has Brendan Fraser and Elizabeth Hurley in it. It also has a “boy's freeze frame” moment!
