Well that was some weekend.
The Coniston Water Festival came to fruition with a diverse smorgasbord of cultural open sandwiches. My favourite was Ken Russell's Lovely Legs Competition - pictured here in progress (those are my boyfriends legs on show). I have removed Ken's as they were just too good. But seriously, shortly after this pic was taken he declared himself the winner. And shortly before it he had discussed Cumbria's self-proclaimed ' Professor of Adventure', Millican Dalton, an Edwardian cave dweller who developed a line in mountain tours for the bored English bourgoisie.

Nowadays of course, Millican would be living off Cumbrian Rural Regeneration grants, completing hundreds of Health & Safety assessments and wearing a hideous fleecy instead of canvas shorts (a garment he claimed to have invented)...

Are you sure? that looks like Ken Russell to me, mind you... I think you need to turn on word verification to avoid spamming, go to your dashboard and look in the comments folder, it's item six.
Does your boyfriend have invisible legs? Actually, I think they are there, disembodied and in the shadows. Perhaps you could post a better picture so we can all judge - I for one think men should show their legs in public more often. Who declared himself the winner by the way (I got confused) - was it Ken Russell or your boyfriend?
See, you should have taken Lampy's advice. Now you've got a rich molumby leaving you comments.
