Last night Chris offered our niece Rachel and i a night out, food included.
Ooooooo we thought, that sounds good.
As the day went on the night was, it seems, ajoined to an evening sheep sale at Bentham Auction Mart.
We did sooooo try and get out of it, we made wonderful excuses to stay home, but it looked like our efforts may cause offence so as always you go with the flow dont you!!!!
So at Bentham we met up wiith our Cheshire friends John and Rachael Gate, and we had a really pleasant evening.
We had Gourmet tea ( everything with chips, peas and serious condensation running down the walls!!! Huge mugs of tea and bread and butter included) in the mart Cafe and then we watched the sale.
It was an annual sale of Individual Breeding sheep including Dalesbred, Swaledale, Blue Faced Leicester, Teeswater, Zwartbles and Herdwicks.
Our friends bought 4 Herdwicks which now go off to a charmed life in Cheshire, far away from the Lakes Hills and we came away having only bought our tea.
Although Chris tried hard to buy some sheep he kept dropping out of the bidding, no good at all!!! Cant help thinking that if I had been beside him giving a nudge and a 'get on' he might have bought something! In our household I am renound for being a bad influence at Auctions!!!!! However all in all not a bad evening!!
