We had a great long weekend in Holmfirth, let me start by saying the holiday rental was very good, a two minute walk to the centre of town, Parking for two cars, it is a upside-down house with Bedrooms on the lower floor giving great views over Holmfirth from upstairs,a great wifi connection,and most things you will even need to have a great time including LOSW DVD's to play, highly recommended and worth every penny, you can book it here http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Vacati...ch_View-Holmfirth_West_Yorkshire_England.html
The Main purpose of the trip was to see the Crusher in the Cafe event on the Saturday afternoon, it was really nice to receive a message on the Saturday morning that Jonathan will be in the Old Bridge Inn at 1pm if we wanted to meet for a chat, which we did and a hours or so soon passed, one of his friends did snap a picture of the two of us
A couple of hours later approx 30 people squeezed into the Cafe for Jonathan's 90 minute talk from Holmfirth to Hollywood and back to Holmfirth, there was video taken of the event and it is hoped in the future it will be available for those who could not make it to the show, towards the end of the talk Jonathan was converted into Crusher with his apron and other props used in the show,and there he was Crusher back in the Cafe.
Jonathan had gone to the trouble to get some limited edition mugs made and each was was numbered and signed on the base, plus we all left with photo's and large event posters signed
On Sunday we had a drive out and I managed a few pictures which I will sort out and post at a later date, I was suffering GMT lag, a bit like jet lag but with feet still on the ground, places we ate were The White Horse, maybe not as good as the last time we went, The Huntsman which was very good and the Fox Houses which is next to Seymour's old house, it was a carvery and not that good,the meat was cut in big slabs, the roast were more like boiled spuds dipped in a fat fryer, yet the place was packed, which effected the bar which was under staffed so a long time to get a drink
We headed home around noon on Monday and all feel we had a jolly good weekend,who knows maybe next year Crusher will be back, Oh it was nice to meet with Barmpot (Rod) again been a while since we got together
