This is Tim (here with his lovely wife Lee Fay):
Tim is a cheeky scientist, radio dj who loves his football and beer almost as much as he loves Lee Fay.
One Saturday over the break, Tim asked all of his friends to join him at Central Station on the 10:55a train to the Blue Mountains. We were going on an adventure!
All the gang was there. Frank & Adrienne…
Nicki & Alister…
And of course Cheerful Charlie.
The first stop was Emu Plains where we picked up Patient Pat. Pat is a new father with a sharp wit but has a great big heart and will always rush to help the others carry beers to the table.
We only had an hour at the first pub so most people ordered tiny drinks for fear of keeping up the pace. Except for Al who is an enthusiastic hard worker and also Scottish. Frank didn’t want Al to be lonely so he too had two beers at the cheery, but empty Irish pub.
Then we were off to the next stop where we searched out food for Nicki’s new friend the Tape Worm who she met on her travels in India. We all decided that it wasn’t right for Mr. Tape Worm not to have a first name, so we all agreed that he should be named after her ex-boyfriend, Simon.
After a delicious lunch, soon we were bustling about again hopping from Springwood to Wentworth Falls and on to Katoomba. There were tales of Malaysian Uncles, readings of trash magazines, descriptions of gout, and debates about the use of Quantum physics as a spiritual metaphor (ok so that one was fairly early on).
But all-in-all it was a fairly civilized pub crawl and soon they noticed that the sky was growing dark. So Tim and Lee Fay and all their friends boarded the final train of the day.
This time going in the other direction back home.
