As the funsters assemble the weather alternates between light showers and bright sunshine. The slightest hint of sunshine and people shoot off walking, some of the more adventures have already walked down inti Ilfracombe.

The new marquee went up without a hitch and seems to be big enough. I went for a 9 x4mtr and this time there is a snooker table and football table at one end leaving lots of room for funsteres at the other.

The moon here in Devon is special and last night was quite red so maybe good weather on the way

The water hose reaches most of the vans on site so been playing gungadin.

there was uproar today as a mole was found in the camp. The guards managed to let a sane person slip though the net. I knew it was a mole the minute I saw him said Mrs Hilda. I rushed to get a photo, only 9768 more needed for a new winter coat.

one look at me and he showed us a clean pair of heels

I am told he sleeps in a standing position, something to do be being a horse ot something.Hilda and Mike look on in amusement at the antics reminiscent of tenters.

Hello Roger and all Funsters at the Ilfracombe bash.
Looks like your all having a good time there :thumb:. Absolutely gutted that we could not make it down there to be with you :cry:. We was really looking forward to this meet. Never mind perhaps it will be third time lucky for us to get to Rogers next year.
For those that don’t know the reason for us not being able to attend I will try to explain! :helptitanic: Tuesday night while getting the MH ready I noticed the exhaust of the car hanging down so first thing Wednesday morning down to garage to get a new back box fitted, on returning home wife said about cat having something in his head looked like a claw from another cat where he had been in a fight, so phoned up vets for emergency appointment, turned out to be a cyst and had to have 4 teeth removed. Whilst waiting for the appointment I thought I’ll check the gas bottles only to smash one of my fingers between the spanner and the gas bottle :Eeek:, blood everywhere, lucky gas bottles are red so it didn‘t notice too much :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:.
Back to the vets this afternoon to have the cats stitches removed, Normally our daughter looks after the animals for us while we are away so that would not have been a problem but she’s on holiday, so a neighbour was going to pop in and feed them for us but as the vets that we use is not near us I thought it would be to cheeky to ask her to take the cat back to the vets and give him his medication.
Sorry it’s a bit long winded.

Typical funsters singing and carousing until the kids fell asleep.
bfbc0939.jpg

Some people got so pie eyed they put their clothes on back to front and left their lights on all night running the battery flat, no names mind, what happens at a rally stays at a rally

The excitement was too much for munchie who fell asleep, hee hee
1dfa4bb2.jpg

The games room in wildmans lair was an instant hit with the youngsters Samuel and Georgia who played pool for hours on end and kept them out of the other funsters hair

The funsters have taken full advantage of the surrounding area for long walks and shopping. Weather has held out so far thank goodness.

Thanks to Roger for organising a good weekend. We enjoyed our first outing in our 'Bongo', was nice to put some faces to the names on the forum.
Glad a few have my sense of humour, none with my boyish good looks though!! :ROFLMAO:

Oi

You turned up in a motorized Tesco trolley and a scooter... we all had to help you put up the tent and dig out the scooter...

Your rendition of "I've got a brand new combine harvester" wasn’t too bad, but to pick Old Mo as your backing was not your best choice... His yellow polka dot swimsuit and rather suspect bikini line waxing was a bit too much to take.. You would have thought that Movan and Judy could have done a better job with that flymo and Wildman’s homemade hair remover (Lemmon swarfega). But as you say, it was nice to see you in all your glory, boyish looks sitting on a porta potty in the middle of Wildman’s Aire.... A sight that many Funster witnessed but were too embarrassed to photograph, but Mrs No Knickers 4 Cup may have sneaked a quick look, who knows....

Overall a great weekend, the sun shone, Wildman was his usual gentleman host, and Sue his far far better half always there.
For those funsters who missed out, YOU MISSED OUT BIG TIME...


As always.

ShiftZZ, refined and soffisteecated,.,,

Thankyou Roger and Sue for a great Meet-I think a couple of 'alcohol free' days are in order now.
As usual it's nice to put faces to names and also catch up with Funsters we've met before.
Thx to Ken for initiating me into the mysteries of Bolt.org for free e-books ::bigsmile: I got the content lock on my dongle sorted this morn:ROFLMAO: so it should be good to go now.

Mike.
