That's brilliant, means Dave can do Mother's Day for families and we can have fun. :D

Wonder if my Mum fancies a Bongo Meet?

Edit: Won't the wedding pics look great with a Bongo Guard of Honour. :D

Thank you everyone for a wonderful weekend. It's a shame that the cold weather kept us from sitting outside for long. Dave, Pat & Callum said thanks to everyone too. It was a rather difficult weekend for them, but I'm sure they're happy with the bank balance afterwards!

I'll upload some photos when I can get them off my camera.

Seconded, a brilliant weekend.

Sorry we didn't get to spend more time with everyone, but still great.

Baz and me had a wander this morning and found no litter at all, well done guys. Great atmosphere, food, beer, walks, company... :D :D :D

Also, we found a fork by the caravan (big thank you for the fire wood).

Lime green handle. Its in our cutlery drawer but let us know if its yours and we'll get it back to you. 8)

Ah that fork was loitering in the fire pit area from early on.

Big thank you to Jilly for such excellent organisation and to everyone for making us so welcome. It was a pity the cold sent us scurrying indoors, guess it's a risk in March! Nevertheless a thoroughly relaxed atmosphere in beautiful surroundings.

Hi All,

I concur with other posts, a great weekend. Thanks again Gilly for arranging it.

My back is feeling a lot better, still tender but improving. Goodness knows what caused it.

My Bongo has just sailed through it's MOT, with the mechanic saying 'what a little gem it is'. Happy days.

Looking forward to Sandy Balls :D

Everything by your caravan was put there by me, including the fork. The bottle of water and half bottle of wine I put in the bin!

Thanks, Jilly.

Firewood gratefully received, just wondered if anyone has missed said fork? Its quite distinctive.
