Went to Derby v Ipswich tonight. Although derby won 2:0, it was boring til they scored the first, then they started to play.
Even had the ceremonial ram.
The only memorable thing was that this was the first live streamed game, which also might explain why the attendance was low, only 24,000.

Kevin and I did the Edale skyline walk today. A 17 mile circular walk on the hills around Edale. A stunning walk, the only minor criticism was the flat bit across flagstones about a couple of miles from Mam Tor.
Ticking off a few trig points

Lots of vintage tractors at the show.
Nearly 40 parading.

Emma’s (my first niece) birthday and I had forgotten to send her a card.
So I popped over on the tractor to deliver it ‘first class’.
As I was there Brandon had his first ride.

You do silly things in life. Today it was covering your face with shaving foam and then get kids to throw cheesy wotsits at you.
Bit scary
they enjoyed it.
Must be nuts……….

Off to Mount Cook centre.
Fun time for the kids on the zip wire from the roof of the centre.
Getting ready
On the way down.
And the archery was good too. One team against another.

Today’s watery theme continues.
Lots of watery games including passing water bombs down the line.
Holding a bucket of cold water over yourself
And my favourite, which I joined in – a water fight…. great fun, I got soaked.

After a wet/rainy start to day the sun broke through ready for watery activities.
Including ‘messing about in boats’

The fun continues at Boys Brigade camp. Tonight they are swimming/playing in an outdoor pool at John’s house.
Stopped at 20:00 as the rain came down.

Second day of playing on the tractor. A couple of the younger ones sitting on Florence (the tractor). Did get a few of the older ones to drive her as well. Fun time.
