Grant and friends at the Hippie Bash of the Year!

Jamie's Birthday Hippie Bash!

These pics where taken recently at Jamie Olivers B'day Party, where the theme was late 60's back to Woodstock!, so as you can see the hippy costumes came out to play! The night was not just to celebrate Jamies B'day, but to also try the food of his 3 best up and coming chefs. The 3 of them have spent the last few months competing against each other and the winner will get their own pub to run in Essex.

Look out for the new tv programme being aired later in the year about their exploits. So as you can guess we ate lots of great food at the party!

God we did look silly!!!

Jon's Epic Cycle Ride from Cambridge to the Med!

Well!! I did it and I'm back to tell the tale. Apart from a skin graft on my rear-end I am in good shape. It was (excuse the pun) a true 'roller coaster ride', extremely enjoyable, however very hard work. 8 - 9 hours a day, averaging 70 miles for two weeks. We had highs and lows but the one thing that was in inspiration to me and drove me on was all the support and extremely generous sponsorship you all very kindly pledged. I expected to raise a few hundred pounds, but to my complete surprise I personally raised approx. £4,500. My three colleagues who joined me on the ride, collectively have raised approx £10,000 for the Arthur Rank Adult Hospice.
Thank you all very much for your support, it is very much appreciated.
