Bad luck Aitch mate ,we're there tommorow PM, I'll have a cider for you. (Thatcher's Ceddar Valley Medium) I'm drinking it while I can before we gat a 'Social Tax' on 'Strong Cider'.

Now at the risk of going off topic I do wonder if any particular political party wants votes from Somerset, Dorset, Hampshire, Devon, Cornwall, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Herefordshire... Worcestershire...

Don't tell me I'm the first to post after the event! Had a wonderful day and evening yesterday. Pity about the drizzle this morning but hey ho it's always the same when you want to dry tents! I'm trying to attach some photos. Let's try one first - http://i318.photobucket.com/albums/mm42 ... o-0001.jpg

Good pictures Geoff. I'm having real trouble with Photobucket at the moment. Every time I go on there, it crashes me out. I was halfway through a post and my whole internet went down. Grrrr!

If anyone wants to be my fwend on Facebook, all the photos are on there! I'll look out for you.

Had a wonderful weekend and Cfor really enjoyed her bones! Pity about the drizzle this morning. I was gonna walk up to the horse.

Good to meet so many kind people. I've decided I like the small meets cos you meet more people!! :lol:

I'm trying to buy a couple of pop up tents from Ebay at the mo, and also feeling my way to find a chain of kind bongoleers to help get them from Bolton to Swindon. With luck this just might work. [-o<

I was very impressed with Nick's cooking and his laid back approach to it. If I was to cook for 30 or 40 people I would be in a right state of nerves. The lamb was tender, succulent and tasty,

It was an excellent meet, superb location with wonderful company. Congratulations to the Swindon contingent who organised it, with very many thanks from yours truly (and mrs Yours Truly).

And those great Bongoliers who turned up in variable to good Autumn conditions. Thanks for your company!
