I went to my first Tweet-Up on Saturday, to meet Joby, Chris and Emma at Tatton Park. Joby (well, his Missus to be fair) has produced some T-shirts for me, the boys from work and my lad so I’d arranged to collect them from him.
A couple of weeks ago I was on for joining the three musketeers on the ride, but family commitments made that impossible. Driving to Tatton and having a brew with them was the next-best option.
I have to say it was a pleasure to meet the chaps and lady. They’d already had their lunch (they’d been 45 minutes late, I was 90 minutes late!) so I bought them another brew so we coud have a chat. I think I may have got a bit giddy and asked Joby to sell me a bike, but even allowing for that it was a very pleasant hour.
After they’d cycled off towards Sale, the kids and I stayed in Tatton Park for a stroll and had a lovely amble through the misty winter day.
Next time I meet this lot, I’d better be on my blinkin’ bike! – Or Joby’s old one!!
good stuff… interesting, though, that the only images you have of Joby, Chris and Emma are of them cycling away from you!!!
Sounds like you had a great day – shame I couldn’t get there to meet you too: I had to work that day. Still, I can always haul ass over to Hollingworth Lake some time.
Ha ha Rooley – didn’t ask if I could take a photo, just whipped the camera out as they went!
Lost – Yes, the Lake’s a favourite haunt and easily doable, even with the kids riding along…
I hope that that was the only thing you whipped out when we where leaving.
Yeah, I had the kids with me!
