Rally [Apr 2, 2015] Chester Food Festival 2015 (Chester)

[cpease]

Why are we in this country, typical bank holiday weather !!

 

[irnbru]

It's apparently a lovely sunny day 8n Dundee.

 

[Madwife]

Had a little walk around Chester earlier on today and met some fellow funsters too!

It's finally stopped raining and hopeful that the test of the time will be dry weather.

Bin there all afternoon, tonight! Oh well shall have to make an effort then.....

 

[dabhand]

If anyone needs wrist bands to get into the food festival tomorrow they will be in the Marquee early this evening.

What's occuring Jim?

 

[Taran_Las]

Well if it's any consolation, having wandered around your muddy field this afternoon I got bloody soaked and almost froze to death. I'm now sitting at home in the warm enjoying my broadband. A relaxing radox bath to follow then later will be a small glass of port to celebrate not having to slum it in Chester.

If the butler gets the car out ready for me I may pay you all another visit sometime.

Great to see Ray (Swanseajack), Kath & Howie, Mousy & Mr. Mousy and last but not least our esteemed leader (can't remember his name now)

Bugger I thought I'd got you there​

 

[Ockerron]

Well, we've decided to throw an impromptu party in the Funsters marquee! Only 5 of us so far but I live in hope!

 

[irnbru]

Well we are having one in Movan MH, there's 5 of us here too.

 

[dabhand]

Decided I didn't look good in a onesie, or a twosie for that matter so passed on the jungle Jim party and went back to the Boot with several others and I then had a nightcap in wether spoons followed by a fashion parade in Macdonalds by argumentative young pups in big shoes and not much else! Time for bo bo's.

Well, we've decided to throw an impromptu party in the Funsters marquee! Only 5 of us so far but I live in hope!

I popped my head in at 20.10 Gerri, but the place was desolate, so Rita and I eneded up having a quiet night in front of the TV.

They'll be no quiet night in tonight though, ie, it's Saturday.

Judt been out and about, and it's damp with dew, but warm. Weather forecast for Chester is looking good.

I don't know where you are pitched Kate, but will go and look for a trashed awning.

The blue tent was a bit exposed, so not surprised it went, and possibly not tied down either. Back shortly.

Jock.

 

[JockandRita]

All okay Kate, and your key custodian confirms that too.

No one appears to have suffered any awning damage, but we are quite sheltered being closely pitched.

See you in time for coffee & cake.

Jock.

Look out for my mate Liam Robinson. The reason I'm not singing shanties with him in Lincoln this afternoon is because he's singing them in Ellesmere Port.

 

[haganap]

Has anyone found a necklace ? Nikki has lost one

 

[vin0114]

We just had a walk round the food fest, very busy and lots of tasties. lots of brilliant entries to the FUN cake and Easter bonnet competition, must have put some extra weight on sampling them.

 

[Ed Earl]

Good day here at Chester, the sun is shining the food festival is good lots to see do and taste, any one there bring your chairs and drinks for a informal get together in the Marquee 7.30 / 8 ish

Think the age difference has really been highlighted tonight. Only 5 of us left after 11pm. :-
And all under 66 yr old.
Is this really what Ive got to look forward to?

Sandra, I think it was more to do with a temperature difference, than an age difference.
Unless you were sat on top of that gas heater, it got quite cold in there last night, (time of year thing).
Also, several of us are up at the crack of dawn, to get those bacon rolls on the go.
SEE YOU ALL, BUT NOT BEFORE 10.00...............PLEASE.

It's dewy and mild out this morning, and another decent day's weather ahead, especially after lunchtime.

Cheers for now,

Jock.

 

[irnbru]

Cheers Jock,
I must admit I wasnt too far away from the heater when I actually sat down. I never felt the cold...Maybe something to do with the alcohol

 

[Ambilkate]

Morning all sorry we had to leave the marquee early last night Amanda was really struggling with the cold with her legs we appologise to all the new funsters we have not met yet hopefully get round to say hi or if you passing we are the 3rd van from the end on the first row facing the middle Kate x

Lightweights, no bet there saving themselves for a humongous piss up tonight, you better put your drinking head on, cos you've thrown a challenge out and no one going to bed till you do
