Sir James Lester threw himself down on the rough grass gasping theatrically, “Beer, for the love of God, Jon, please!”

Lyle shook his head. “Not until the summit, sweetie.”

“Not far now,” commented Stephen.

“Bugger off, Hart,” muttered Lester.

“It’s lovely at the top,” said Vicky Thornton, cheerfully. “Come on, look, it’s all sparkly in the sun.”

Ryan looked down at Lester in amusement. “She means Bassenthwaite,” he explained, pointing across the valley to the lake.

“I hate to break it to you, darling,” said Stephen, staring uphill, sounding calmer than he felt, “but she doesn’t mean that at all.”

LOL Poor hickle Lester :)
And oh God, do anomalies follow them or something?

[rodlox.livejournal.com]

they probably do.

(can you get a restraining order against Anomalies?)

[fredbassett]

Lester's certainly beginning to think so!

[joereaves.livejournal.com]

Lmao. Oops.

[fredbassett]

Indeed!

[lukadreaming.livejournal.com]

Hee -- excellent! Does that mean we might expect more in the series? *bg*.

[fredbassett]

LOL, I think Lester has had quite enough of the Lake District already!

[rodlox.livejournal.com]

always fun.
particularly with how so many things in the area could be sparkly.
(and isn't it good she didn't say "shiny"?)

[fredbassett]

The only shiny things on the top of the fells are the boulders when it's raining!!

[rodlox.livejournal.com]

you're shiny.

[rodlox.livejournal.com]

well, I figured it could mean the lake, some snow or ice, the clouds, or an Anomaly.


ps: do you watch NCIS?

[torncorpse.livejournal.com]

lol, they can't even get a break for one day.

lol.
Lester should know better than to agree to anything with those three. And maybe Vicky is just as bad...

[fredbassett]

It was just meant to be a nice stroll in the countryside ............

[torncorpse.livejournal.com]

the countryside mocks your nice stroll.

lol

[hellcats-punk.livejournal.com]

Sweet!
Do they ever get a break? But then where would the fun in that be? lol

[fredbassett]

LOL, I couldn't resist inflicting this on them when I saw the piccie!!

[cordeliadelayne]

Hee! Oh dear, bless 'em. Good use of the prompt :D

[fredbassett]

Thanks!

It was such a fantastic prompt, I had to go for it! And it was a dead cert for something set after my last series :)

[byrons-brain.livejournal.com]

Awwww! I love the though of lester throwing a tantrum....

[fredbassett]

He does snark so beautifully that a tantrum would be a joy to behold!

[bigtitch.livejournal.com]

Aw poor Lester! If I was him I'd sit down and demand air-sea rescue!

[fredbassett]

I rather suspect he did!

[telperion-15.livejournal.com]

If I were Lester I'd be heading back down the hill at a great rate of knots right about now... *g* Sod the beer...

[fredbassett]

LOL!

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Oh no. lolol

[fredbassett]

That's the last time he get's talked into a nice healthy walk!

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

No kidding!

[deinonychus-1.livejournal.com]

Heehee. Sparkly indeed. All that glitters is certainly not gold in this case.

[fredbassett]

Too true!

“I hate to break it to you, darling,” said Stephen, staring uphill, sounding calmer than he felt, “but she doesn’t mean that at all.”

Of course she doesn't! That place is worse than the Forest of Dean. *g*

[fredbassett]

I laughed like mad when I saw the photo and worked out where it was!

[reggietate.livejournal.com]

Poor Lester. No wonder he snarks - between Lyle and the anomalies, it's probably all he's got energy left for :-)

[fredbassett]

Very true!

[pexylexy.livejournal.com]

Hee!

[fredbassett]

Thanks!

[comnena39.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. The poor loves! Time to turn round and go home methinks! Back to nice safe London where there are never any anomalies (oh, wait...!)

[fredbassett]

Mmm, London where the bright sparkly lights might not be streetlamps!

[fififolle]

OMG awesome! 'It's all sparkly in the sun' muwahahahaha! Genius. It's like a family outing, sweetie darling *g* I want to go up Skiddaw and look for teh anomaly. Drabble made of win :D
*waves from Much Wenlock* And as my e-mail is not behaving, even here, can I ask if it is all right for my drabble to have a bit of a Ryan-Vicky theme, too, please? I mean, the pic was made for them, right?

[fredbassett]

*waves back to fifi and family*

You're very welcome to Vicky, hon :) Enjoy the rest of your holiday!

[fififolle]

Excellent! Thanks :D
Yes, we're back, had a lot of fun and spent a lot of it underground *g* Update later, I hope.
