bringing a special guest!

As Cilla once said “ Surprise Surprise”

Hi,

 

I'll be doing the normal pre-meet at the A38/A50 services (DE65 6DX) at 845am for a 9am departure. 

 

We will swing by the Co-op in Wirksworth at 930am and aim to arrive at Quackers about 10am.

 

Feel free to come along 👍

Thanks as always to Julie for such a fab day. Great drive, great scenery and amazing weather. Hope you all got home safely in the glorious sunshine

Thanks for the photo's Luke, hope the video worked out too👍 I have counted 16 cars meeting at Quackers cafe, here we are enjoying that lovely warm sunshine over breakfast

 

 

and in the car park

 

 

 

Not everyone had a conventional breakfast

 

 

and some got 2 pieces of flapjack, lucky sod

 

 

Some were leaving us here, other's were following for part of the journey and the rest had a couple of postcodes in their satnav in case they got lost. With quiet roads, we all kept together and drove through the beautiful Ilam Estate in convoy.

 

 

 

Bakewell, if you have made it to here then you will only queue for a minute at the pedestrian crossing, couldn't believe it!

 

 

At Ilam Hall we all showed that parking a Westfield in a straight line, perpendicular to the Hall, is an art, we got there in the end

 

 

The view from the cars, looking out over the estate

 

 

The view from the Manifold Tea Room

 

 

Lunchtime, scones, cakes, there was even real food involved at some point

 

 

Some had ice cream, even though they had cake for breakfast, watch out Andy, Andy and Andy

 

 

The competition soon set the Andy's off eating cake, what do you reckon Westwood? a poor show? 

 

 

 

Thank you to everyone for coming, I hope you enjoyed your day as much as we have x

 

A few last photo's of the Bill's leaving Quackers cafe @BillyPee and the best t-shirt as modelled by Thomas, the very important next generation of Westfield owners

 

 

 

 

See you all next time xxx

What a stunning day! Thanks @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative , you ordered up some lovely weather!

 

We started early near Derby, with Loris taking a few photos of the cars.

 

 

I thought we had 6 cars for the convoy and we set off at 9am.... unfortunately we hadn't spotted Tim in the petrol station so he was playing catch up! 🤣

 

A nice leisurely drive up to Wirksworth to collect Rich and let Hedley refuel again and we were off with an 8 car convoy.

 

Landing at Quackers we made it 16 cars!

 

 

 

I'd never been to Ilam before, but what a stunning place, beautiful views on the drive in and a stunning hall and gardens.

 

I sat at the back for what seems like an hour while the other drivers practiced their reversing skills.... it was like watching a carry on film 🤣🤣

 

The wait was worth it though 👏

Great photo in front of the hall. One for the calendar maybe. Two slices of cake 😋 I probably would have just had 1 slice and it would of been larger😂.

Looks like you've all had a great day. It's a shame I'm working tonight and missed the fun.

Thank you all for another great run through the Peaks 👍 

Us Southerns have to leave early so it’s breakfast on the move 😋

but needs must ( Becky gets a lie in and I don’t have to make breakfast)

Arrived at Quackers bang on time and the cars carried on coming.

Unfortunately no pics here as Becky is nursing a bad back and after extracting her from the car it was off to get a cuppa and a few painkillers 🤒

Here’s a few taken along the way to Ilam 

The parking I agree did turn into a fiasco but the parking attendants instructions weren’t very clear !! 
But the photos do look nice .

Lunch was lovely in the garden ( we were all hiding in the shade),but then Cake arrived at the party!!!! feel free to add your own thoughts/ caption 

well the forecast was rain late on so everyone started to move and we followed @Rob Hunter Derby & Notts AO& @HB46443 back home via the A515 

 Along the way it was another fuel stop for Hedley (boy the little fella can drink) and then we carried on our journey south, we bid farewell to him at Tamworth and finished our trip all alone 🙁 see you next time take care luv Andy & Becky

Should I tell her that ladies eat with a fork or shall I leave her to shovel it in 😝
