Cloudy but dry over here right now. Just checked the Met Office website and they're saying OK (ish) for this side of the Pennines but could get seriously wet in Yorks and Humberside later on. On balance, maybe car. See you anyway
Well I'm glad Its started to rain now cause I am in my van, other wise a good turn out, it was quite nice sat in the sun and I,m sure Betty enjoyed it, thanks to all who came and a big thanks Rockchick for organizing it
What a brilliant day... Well done to RCL for organising it! And HAPPY BURPDAY to PB!!
Sorry about the lack of purple on my part...Typical, for years I've had purple hair then as soon as I dye it red, there's a 'purple do' lol
It was great to catch up with some great friends I've not seen in yonks!!! been way too long, we definately need to organise a good night out
And great to catch up with everyone else and meet new faces
The weather was glorious, if I had known, I would've definately been on Ziggy, but it's absolutely banging it down now,
Hope you all got home safely and kept dry.
See you all soon

Very glad to have made the trip and it was ood to see everybody again, even if it was rather fleetingly. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did, PB and thanks to chickie sis for organising it. Have a gold star and go to the top of the class xx
Great day. Mind you, although it was Purlebetty's day in theory, it was Tigertim's hairless Staffie that stole the show. Never seen such a shameless piece of upstaging for a long time The weather held off apart from one short shower on the way back. That means that my daughter is hardly speaking to me - she really wanted to come on the bike, but I said no, the weather forecast wasn't that good and I didn't fancy an hour on the M62 in the pouring rain. There again, that's dads for you, always in the wrong!
@ Wills, you'll be glad to hear you dads don't have a monopoly at always being wrong I think that applies to parents in general!
Fantastic day! Thanks to rockchickeelicious for organising it, it was lovely to see everyone
Thanks too to CW for bringing his spare panniers for me to use at Yorkshire Pudding I owe you a pint.... or two..... what the hell, lets just find the beer tent
What a really lovely day for PBs birthday lunch...just great to meet the lovely lady herself at last..x Fabulous weather to boot with lots of smiles and laughter all day long....Brilliant... Well done Anne for organising this... lovely job well done .... xx
Where do I begin to thank everyone who came to Squires today, thus making it a magical day!
Anne - thankyou so much for all the hard work and organising you put into making the day work so well...... and lushly wonderful.x.x.x. You are such a !!!!!
I just loved that lovely warm feeling of caring and friendship that wrapped itself around the group, making the day fly so fast, that I can't believe I'm back home already.
My cards are sooo fab and funny, my gifts sooo individual - from the one eyed purple people eater.............and everything in between..... to the original and signed wabbit drawing from the one and only EllieMinx....I love and appreciate them all very much, and will think of each of you, whenever they're used..x.
If ever anyone was going to be upstaged, it could only be by the little Timmys - as they shall forever now be known - they are such little Darlings.... And Tim, how fabulous to meet Lynette at last.x.x.
Today has meant such an awful lot to me, more than you will ever know. Thank you so much my friends, your kindness, generosity of spirit, and friendship is priceless.x.x.x.
Bonnie the hairless staffie says thank you to everyone for fussing her. She asks if anyone wants to send money to the nice people at Deerness Kennels (Stray action for dogs) in Durham on her behalf then please do x
I am blushng to the roots of my ears Thank you for your lovely comments but you know something...
It could never have been anything less than a wickedly lush day for PurpleBetty because...

I did have a word with Himself and make the sun come out though I don't "wear blue jeans and a rosary" for nothing lol
