Thanks for the meet, well done for organising. Thanks too to all those who came from further afield, lovely to see you again Mike, Manda and Andy.
We had a brill time with all the regular faces, great to catch up with you all. Roll on the next one. Sorry if we missed saying bye to anyone but needed to catch the shops. Love the pics. Trish and Harry

[quote="Bulwell Bongoleers"]Hi Guys.

Sorry, but interested in wildlife and wondered if you took this bird intentionally. Know it is on zoom and they do not always come out on the move, do you know what it was you took.

Actually looking at it......either a Heron OR A PLANE Confirm for me please.

Looks like y'all had a great day - and not a sign of snow or frost on the Bongos.

(we're virtually stranded in our cul de sac by the latest melted-sleet-now-sheet-of-ice. Cars covered similarly covered in sheets of ice. Stayed below zero all day). Work tomorrow

Our road is pretty much the same - except for being a very steep hill

Glad you had such a great day.

Hiya. No didnt take the picture of the bird intentionally. It was a large bird, another was slightly in front of it. We did see alot of hawks/kestrels and an owl on the A51 between Stoke & Chester

) and then to a watering hole for some liquid before I headed home.......back here in the Low Counties of East Angular at 20:28.....

Or buzzard?

Sorry we didn't make it out today, BTW. Had hoped to be there but Mrs M very firmly pointed out that we still had decisions to make before their kitchens planner comes tomorrow morning - so spent a thrilling afternoon at B & Q, choosing work tops, tiles, sink, taps and similar enthralling stuff Still, she has been waiting nearly two years, since truncating house improvements work in 2008 when she became ill - be good to get it done.

51 litres of vpower PETROL is slopping around my tank.

Must learn to pay attention at the pump.

Drain it n save it. Use it in no more than a 10% ratio with DIESEL. Using above 10% can cause vapour locks.

Great day out, pity it clashed with a vintage meet or you would have had to put up with me..............................
