Just a book? I hope you are actually bringing me a birthday cake. Any from your book will do. A pink princess castle one would be nice. :lol: :lol:

thanks to di and jamie for the lead on the swimming, really enjoyed it.hope you enjoy the rest of your birthday di and pete did you proud with the "21" again birthday cake =D> =D> .sorry we missed you harry and trisha but we waited as long as we could, and thanks for the book although i dont think our artistic nature will do the cakes justice. nice to see karen and keith turning up on the sunday just before we all left. dooooh. will try to organise somat for next weekend for that scary session. will post up some pictures soonish.

Thanks to all those (old hands and newbies) who turned ur at Gibraltar this weekend....I would have gone there anyway but spending the weekend in good company once again made it special.

Pete(Snowkiter) and I did a 10 mile circular walk on Saturday and found all but one Geocache out of 9 (well pete found 7 & I found one) For those who were with us for the first one at Woodwell which we didn't find we found it this lunchtime in the area where we searched yesterday but it wasn't by a rotten tree stump.

The weather was amazing...T shirts all day yeaterday then a real downpour overnight (who cares when you're tucked up). Today was a bit mixed but didn't stop Pete & I doing a few more cahes on the way home.

The campsite was very crowded but Mike the warden kept an area especially for us. Apparently many of the other campers/campervans who arrived at short notice had been turned away from other campsites because of waterlogged ground.

A great weekend again...happy birthday Di....thanks all

Looks like a good time was had by all, I enjoyed looking at the photos and getting soooo jealous.

Ah well, I'm sure there'll be a next time.
