For anybody who happens to be passing Tebay services on the M6, they have what must be one of Britain's greatest pie counters. I always think of Vern when stopping there to stock up.

The first thing i thought when Pie Week was posted on FaceBook yesterday was "Ooohh Vernon!"

Dear Vernon, gone too soon.

I may be having a pie or 3 in his memory, got some Chicken left from Sunday's roast and some Mushrooms.

The Indian Potato Pie recipe he sent me may well be on the cards too.

Indian Potato Pie... I like the sound of that!

We kicked off the week with a chicken, ham and leek pie.
And very nice it was too.

Just to add these are not my photos,so i hope the person does not mind.

Looking forward to a pork pie or three when I get back there in March, Easter eggs for pudding of course......

 

[postman]

Well i am glad it's pie week.Cos i have an appointment on the 4th.So i can find another day that week.After looking on Weegmanns website,as a penance for not doing the ride on the 4th.I will abase myself by buying some black pudding also.

Who is Vernon?

 

[Cycleops]

A former CCer, now sadly departed who was very keen on pies and always up for a bit of fun.

 

[Poacher]

Who is Vernon?

Was that tongue in cheek?
Giving you the benefit of the doubt, he was a legendary stalwart of the forum, who only got to enjoy a few days of his retirement.
To give a flavour for any members who are unfamiliar with his contributions, try this delightful thread:

I had the pleasure of meeting him at a couple of CC runs. I also bought a Brooks saddle from him which now graces my old Dawes Galaxy.
