D Day

Father's Day saw the extended Pie Tribe head en masse to Anglesey to visit Holyhead, South Stack, The Rocky Coast Path Nature Reserve and Porth Dafarch Beach.

We all met up at the Nature reserve for a picnic lunch in glorious sunshine which was great as it was pouring down when we left home. After lunch we headed down to Grandad D's bench to lay some flowers, enjoy the view and clamber about on the rocks.

From here we headed, still in unpredicted sunshine, to Porth Dafarch beach for some general messin about and sun worshipping. The Pieman headed off along the Cliff's for a walk with Chough Tribe Dog Tina.


From the beach we moved on to South Stack Lighthouse Cafe, Coffee and Cake! The views on such a good day were fantastic. We even spotted a Chough! The cliffs had plenty of Razorbills, Guiellemotts and Herring Gulls but no Puffins to see.

Harvest Time

Plot 109a is progressing with the planting of sweetcorn, beetroot, swede, more lettuce and Carrots. Life has sprung from everything planted so far except for the beans. The potatoes are our current pride and joy being well established and growing strong.

The fruits or vegetables of our labours are now being eaten. With a deluge of radishes and Swiss Chard. Battling with never ending weeds continues but slugs and Wood Pigeons are now Public enemy number 1. A start has been made on the other overgrown part of our plot.

Tribal Gathering

The Viking, Tipton and Pie Tribes headed for a gathering at Tatton Park on Sunday last. This was prompted by the Viking tribes visit to Chester for a long weekend break and Family Celebration. Wendy Vikings parents celebrated 50 years married!

Even though the weather was spectacularly damp for most of the afternoon we all still had a good time. There was lots to do and see with a Classic Car event taking place which had plenty of Automotive delights to drool over.

The various ankle biters from the tribes were quick to spot a large retail unit called the Pie Emporium. Unfortunately at £4.00 a hit for a limp looking offering even the Pieman could not be tempted.

The rain eventually began to cease and we headed back to Chester for Pizza and more chat.

Hogroast

Congratulations to Sean & Jane on their 25th wedding anniversary. Mr & Mrs Pieman along with the Bag Tribe went to the party held in Rossett via the vomit comet driven by Frankie Piester in Law.

The weather was excellent, the venue was brilliant, the company divine, the drink flowing and the Hog superb. A great time was had by the Pie contingent who didn't stop laughing all night, what could be better. Good luck to Jane who is starting a new job soon.
