As always, a splendid time is guaranteed for all.
JENNY: AN UPDATEIn blogposting 214 I told you about my meeting with the redoubtable Jenny, up in the clouds at Hartside Top. I also asked her to get in touch with the names of the people in the photo I used, and tell me the name of the charity that was involved in the escapade.
Well, she has got in touch (thankyou Jenny) - which is why I’ve used the photo again, but this time with a caption.
There were, apparently, more photos and details in the Evening Chronicle of 26 August but I’ve searched their website until my mouse-fingers ached and can find no trace. If you have better luck, get in touch.
The charity that Chris ran for is called Papyrus; it’s active in trying to investigate and prevent suicide, especially amongst young people. It’s a worryingly worthy cause and you can donate at www.justgiving.com/c2crun
And finally…
I think I may have jumped the gun by saying that Chris was Jenny’s future son-in-law. Er...my apologies.

Hi Ian
I am well impressed with your prolificacy in blog-writing at the moment, well done! It was good to know that Jenny from the Hartside Pass is still in touch, and I really enjoyed montaguedave's contributions. Do write again on the blog, montaguedave ..... or hang out around the Theatre Royal tomorrow .... we're impossible to miss!
Ian, I have done my P.A. jobs today, I've rung Ada and J. Arthur Smallpiece to let them know there's an AGM tomorrow.
See you all very soon.
Thanks Hildie. (Er...prolificacy?)
You HAVE written a lot of blogs of late, you know .....
anyway, I've checked it out -
prolificacy:
turning out many products of the mind, fruitful, abounding, producing abundantly
....it derives from
Middle French i.e. prolifique ... producing young, or fruit, especially freely.
There you go!
See you tomorrow, night, night.
p.s. How
