If you are going away somewhere and don't mind meeting up with other Bongo owners or if you've been somewhere & want to tell us about it & stick up your photos, put the details here.

I've got the option of more pitches if needed, so no need to panic. Phone Tuesday morning, once the remaining 7 places are gone, I will start a waiting list, then get additional places from site.

Hope you had a good weekend away from the grind Ian.

I'm not booking in, no plans for camping meets for a couple of months at least, I'll probably pop over on the saturday afternoon/evening if it's allowed :wink:

Morning. It is very awkward to actually put down in writing "expressions" isn't it? What may have sounded like a piece of friendly advice by the author, turns out to be what seems a "bit harsh".

Same thing happens with emails. I think that is why the "Smiley" was invented to soften the blow......or to strengthen the meaning. :shock: :?

Ah yes, the mystery of the English language.
It was so much simple to understand the quill and parchment message sent to which was meant, as opposed to the cold font of the typed word in the form of the various technology's used for it's conveyance.
Such use of said gadgetry can strip the authors thought to the bare bone, leaving just cold emotionless words to the eye of the recipient.

Still, it makes it a lot easier to dump a woman by text! :wink:

I forgot until lunchtime, and missed out. But Ian is apparently booking more spots. If all else fails, I'll book privately, but don't tell Ian.
