Back after a bit of a break

Post by Simon Jones » Mon Jun 19, 2017 7:19 pm

Just saying 'hi' as I've been off the Bongo scene since last summer as we've been busy doing bits to our new (well, 600 year old) house which seems to have taken up all my spare time. I'm taking a break from decorating and working in the garden to come up to Stourport for the weekend so I look forward to catching up with folk. Apologies in advance to the people that have PM'd me and who I've unintentionally ignored over last year or so. I expect most of the messages will be massively out of date, but I'll plough thru the inbox when I get an opportunity.

The Bongo has not had a great deal of use recently although I did use it as a mobile office when we had builders in doing work as it was the only dust-free 'room' I could find :). Just need to get all the green slime off the paintwork so it looks at least half presentable and I'll be getting loaded up for trip up on Friday. See you there!

Thanks chaps :). Just trawling thru my photos and found one of Bongo 'office' from last year. Now I've got a proper driveway I can plug the van in on hookup which is a luxury compared to my last house.

Good to see you back Simon, didn't know you were at the Bash so didn't get a chance to say Hi.
