Weather dry, sun breaking through the clouds should be a nice day, not windy either :D

I just had a call from the site asking when we're arriving... told her we weren't coming .. her response was "Could have let us know" I didn't know if anyone else would be taking the spot.. it was all paid up for so don't see what the problem was :(

Have a drink for us .. did Debs make it without getting lost :lol: :lol: :lol:

yep obviously they were.. didn't think of letting them know as I had paid up and told Mr Munkey after that I wouldn't be able to make it. Oh well, they got there money so can't be annoyed by it :)

I've realised that they probably were just waiting up to check everyone had arrived safely who were due to book in. Feel kind of bad now that I didn't call them.. hey ho.. hopefully, next time we won't have to cancel :)

Your not on your own ,i didn't call them to tell them i wasn't coming, mind you they've not phoned me.
Probably no refund given being so late and like Dave said they would sell the pitch again and make double the money. don't feel guilty i don't.

Another brilliant weekend, well done to all that made it!! =D> =D> =D>

Saturday night was a cracking bellyache laughing session. :lol:


The site folks were a bit weird on Friday night for sure. They locked off the barrier at 10pm, leaving Hembramacho & family to sleep outside when they turned up at 3 minutes past ten. :(

We went back to the gate late on Saturday night to test whether it was working or not. Click on the pic for a one minute video.
