Back home now after an eventful journey! Hit a pheasant on the way there on Friday! No choice. Then 5 miles out of Wimborne this morning my coolant alarm went off (thank God for Haydn). This is where I stopped

Steam billowing out from under the bonnet. A lovely young lady called Louise came to help me (RAC) and an hour later I was back on the road. Looks like that damn pheasant has damaged the bottom of the radiator!

Apart from that, an excellent weekend. Thanks to Ian for organising and Crazy for organising the pub crawl, sorry walk! Sorry I couldn't stay for an extra night but I'm away again on Thursday and I suppose I must put "some" time in at work

Here's a selection of photos:

Everyone saying "Cheese"

Bongos everywhere

Dudley

Snoopy

Cerys

Cfor

What a whopper!

Who's that under my tree?

Cool pic!

Wow!

Nice one Jill,

I can reveal the panda is called 'Willie', and the small chap the Bongo is eating is known as Arthur Smallchild.

Great pics, thanks.

Nothing, that is except my dad having a heart attack this morning He's OK but I'm too drained to drive and would probably be rubbish company, preferring instead to check that my mobile phone had a signal every 20 seconds.

Have a lovely time everyone. If anyone is actually reading this forum in a field full of real people pass it on! You can all make as much noise at the skittles tournament as you like $\:D/$

Alison, family and Issac
We missed you at this bash. hope all goes well at home and will look forward to seeing you soon

Some good piccies Dave, (and Jilly on earlier post), was great to meet you, Roseanne and the rest of the crew at the weekend. Look forward to seeing you all at national if not before.

Just one thing if your posting pics now does this mean you didn't get to Salisbury?

Cheers

It was only the moss on the front bumper

I only did that so you'd be able to sleep at night
