Hi Everyone,

Stephen .....I have a sneaky feeling that you were in the services be it Army or Navy or Air force.......

Bickleigh is only known for the Marine base , because I have been there with the Marines many times.....so good happy memories !! ...LOL
Not telling you anymore ..........LOL

Down to a more serious note I will go caravaning as I'll pay extra for it , don't do TENTS !!
Shelly I don't want to share my bed with anyone cause I like it all to myself and I want my electric blanket or I'm not coming .... LOL

Pauline you can share the bunk beds with Rita, you better go up top as I think Rita would insist on poking you up the bum during the night...!!

Shelly will organize the rest of you......... with her brood she has the experience !,

Stephen will sleep in his tent outside to keep to animals at bay .

Rita the farmer harvested 3 weeks ago.......

Where's Our Mo these days ?????????

Girls and Gentleman
I am ready for this camping weekend can hardly wait, I dont need thermals I am hot enough Lol.
I will bring some insect killer poweder with me you put that down before the rubber sheeting so your be alright.
I am going to have a pallyas not a camp bed or lilo so I will need help fulling that pallyas with clean straw so I hope I have help with that. I promise to make the tea first thing in the morning if you help.

Marilyn my family would be upset to be called a soldier they were all marines on one side of the family and when asked they said they were in the navy.


I am not going to offer to knit hats remember alittle while ago my hat I knitted was too big even for an elephant to wear,

Have a good day Marilyn are you going to put washing out ? if they are harvesting around your way you might end up having to do it all again.
Love Rita

Morning Campers
Oh and I'd just put those needles away. Still I have a few simple patterns to hand that I can copy for Mo and anyone else that feels able to help kit us out.
Hubby did not get called yesterday so was home quite early. Today he has to get there for 10:00. It is a big court with 6 courts normally but additionally they are using the 2 magistrates courts at the moment !!!

Well as Stephen said "Have a good day ya all".

Hi De Hi, campers.

(_)?(_)?(_)?(_)?(_)?(_)?(_)?

Tea Coffee, Grapefuit Segements, Fresh Orange, Bacon Rolls, Toast, Jam, Marmalade, Biccys. All the 'hot' stuff is on the hotplate to keep it warm.

Could a couple of you get the knitting needles out and knit some woolly hats. Please. We've got to look the part.

Nice bright colours so we can see you from a distance in case you wander off and get lost.

Travel details available later today.


Have a good day ya all.

That bleedin BIG cup of Coffee!

Told you I'd spend all night running to the loo.

Marylin, Marine, me! LOL
I went camping at Bickleigh, a wee site near there, and was sailing at Hamworthy.
And the only time I have ever been forced off a campsite because of the rain was at a place called Dawlish....Do you know that area?
I still camp in the winter in Scotland and never had to abandon the site.

Ok! I'll go easy on you.....If you are over 90 with both parents still alive you can bring a caravan and wear thermals. Fair Deal?

Off to bed ....til I probably need to get up again.

Shelly, are you on something? You've been on this thread for at least 3 years and I've never seen you write more than 5 lines......LOL

Rita, you be careful on that hike, or you'll end up joining your family hobbling around the hospital.

I don't think Marilyn noticed the bit about camping.
