The Godfather

We've spoken to the Godfather and we have his approval.

But don't worry, there was never any danger of waking up to find a horse's head in our bed. We simply asked Dave and Susan Biddle to be Godparents to "Bump". To our delight they accepted straight away.

We just had a super weekend staying with them up in the Lakes. We won a few quid at Cartmel Races and had a trip to Morecambe, a resort whose faded grandeur from the start of the 20th century is sadly matched by its tackiness in the 21st.

Between those two spectacles Dave and I went biking around Grizedale Forest. I need the training for the upcoming Mountain Mayhem.
