Hope you all have a good time.  Unfortunately I cannot make DSC as I am decorating!   :(  :cry:  :cry:

It's the wrong weather for decorating, and of course, the wrong moon phase.
I think you'll find 2 weeks time would be more appropriate  ;)

Agreed, you should only transform into decorating garb at full moons.  Do make sure the house is empty and you're locked securely in first though!!!

And you won't be able to see my light panels because your putting wallpaper up...

Is the weather looking iffy?

It's not looking great but then it's early days. The forecast is only really reliable(ish) the day before.

Anyway, we now have the new Event Shelter so even if the weather is crappy we can be social like the old days and sit around getting drunk instead.

It's one of these:-



and we have the zip-in door and walls too



It's 3.5m square so please leave room for it in the middle or corner of our plot.

Been to Tesco got all the bits for the chilli, don't worry Fay no odd bits in there.  Its £2 a head this time a little more than the BBQ we had last time at the caravan :-( food prices!

Like the shelter....

Its looking like I'll be down at the weekend either Friday but most probably Saturday night with a bit of luck.

Chris - don't cater for me, if I make it down on the Friday and there's enough then fine otherwise I'll sort myself out.

Robert
PS. Shelter looks very good.

I'm afraid I will not be camping on this DSC, but I will be coming down to visit either Saturday or Sunday because I miss all the old wrinkly faces that I haven't seen for a while, but at present I don't know which day.
I'll call someone before I come down in case someone has forgotten anything, or requires re-stocking of essentials.............BEER
