Anyone else going to Bongo Fest South West at Looe

[the janner vanner]

I would like to thank everyone who enquired after Roseanne's health, she is now well on the mend. Oh! and Zena now thinks Bongoing is fab and not naff. So thanks goes to Tina and Lol for your hospitalty, and Thanks to Jenny for the coffee, AND to all who made this such a fab meet.

Great pics & looks like you had a great time, I'm glad the weather was kind to you as well, shame it is never like that when I'm down that way....it always rains when I'm in Devon & Cornwall....

We too had a fabulous time at Looe - our first "big" meet. Just Isaac and self, so was a bit concerned about whether I'd enjoy myself but he just cleared off and did lots of socialising and I barely saw him (so thanks/apologies to anyone he attached himself to and "hello" to his two new friends Thomas and Bronwen).

As we went off site for much of Friday and part of Saturday I didn't get to catch up with most of the people on my "hit list" (ie the people I really wanted to speak to, not "hit") but I suspect Isaac may have done. He'll be able to introduce me to everyone next time (hopefully Stourport, but definitely Looe). It was great to see old friends and to chat to those of you who I did chat to even though I don't know who many of you were

Here's a few pics of our weekend, taken both on and off site (and some taken by Isaac!!)

The morning after the night before





Friends








And now, for the photos which Isaac took (the one with half a head is me!!)











If anyone has any decent photo editing capability on their computer and would like to tackle the two group photos of the children's party, please can you let me know via PM. I suspect my flash was not adequate to do the job although it did go off. I've tried to lighten them on the computer but they are just too grainy.

Again, thanks to Ian for organising it, his trusty band of helpers for putting us all in our places and everyone else who was there for making it a lovely weekend.

Wait till next year, and try and take another one, maybe outside

Just got back from Cornwall, spent a few days chilling out & pootling around on the moors, I'll get some photos up when I get a chance, some great ones up already.
Good to see everyone at the meet, never enough time to spend time with everyone
