If you really really want to know try a mirror

You nasty person, I am quite nice really. Just you don't know me I lurk in the shadows of the forum and appear at night at rallies.

 

[Eve]

Suns out again

 

[GWAYGWAY]

I found them all huddled up in a corner of The car park like the wagontrain in the West, I got to talk to a few and they ACTUALLY live near me!!!!!!! My problem is I cannot remember names, and when you add in avatar names as well, then I am sunk.
I noticed a notice saying it is forbidden to smoke passed this sign and next to a steam engine!
Off to The Lincoln show in a week or so, I must check the date this time, so I will see a few more there. Name badges compulsory for me.

I have a bit of a headache. It was the pain of having to drink my own scotch rather than @cruiser 's..........

 

[scousebird]

Well I drank Ramon's ancient gin but no headache for me!

 

[DuxDeluxe]

Well I drank Ramon's ancient gin but no headache for me!

That gin was actually part of the 1940's exhibition. It was refilled with water so no surprise you had no headache

Just finished unloading the van and about to get shut eye ready for w*rk in the morning but thought I would relay my experiences from a newbies eyes..

So we got delayed after the w thing on Friday and so it was after 10 by the time we eventually arrived at the gate to the car park.. all darkness.. we drove in slowly to be greeted by dark vans and silence.. We reversed a boy and debated the next steps.. 4 hours home, an appealing layby back on the road we came in on or the extra 10 miles and head off to France. Just then we saw a smiling face approaching. 'hi you must be the late arrival, they all started drinking at lunch time and they've turned in for the night .. I'm @scousebird why not park here and we can sort it all out in the morning, do you have water etc on board?'

A bit of a palava with the pup (involving emergency bed sheets ) and we snuggled in for a sleep convinced we wouldn't make it through the weekend..

Saturday morning arrived and we started the puppy routine ready to see what the day brings.. another approach from Helen checking we had slept ok and had all we needed as well as a suggestion for breakfast.. by the time we had the pup settled we had met a few other people and were feeling good about it all again so headed to the cafe for an amazing brekky..

In the next hour or so I think most of the funsters stopped by our van to say hello and we got our pack from @B-well (including the treasure hunt we didn't get round to.. sorry Ramon) and by 1/4 past 11 we had the van rearranged (don't ask why, I don't know) and were off to Hythe with a gang of funsters prepared to take a small Kentish town by force (of shopping enthusiasm)..

I won't go on now but from then until we left to visit Dungeness (take my advice and don't follow us there it's a dreadful place) we had a great time, felt welcome and embraced by the funsters (not literally although I did wonder if @cruiser was going to do his hip trick at one point) and everyone made us feel very much part of the gang. We even came away with some lovely lemon drizzle cake....

To all the funsters at the meet, thank you. I can't tag you all with a story but I hope we meet again soon so we can get to know 'the new in-laws' even better.
