Forgot top add this but it probably deems it's own post...

I will ask that no-one eats nuts immediately around her (please) as she can have a reaction to the oils transferred in the air! And I don't fancy spending the night in A&E or Intensive Care! :o :o :o


Not trying to be daft or offensive here, but one thing ive never understood, is how come there is anyone alive with a peanut allergy?

We are led to beleive the sligtest bit of peanut / oil can be fatal to someone with an allergy...

So how come they havent died, surely you eat a bag of nuts, noone is sure whats happening, call an ambulance...you go into anaphalactic shock and die, therefore no more allergy.

why doesnt the 1st attack (that we are led to beleive is so bad) kill?

Good question! Not really sure how they decide that it's anaphalaxis on the first occasion! There are enough people who aren't still alive because their medical response wasn't quick enough!

TBH, we generally get a little bit of warning from most of the things she's allergic to but nuts aren't good... Reaction is almost instant!

Luckily we do have Adrenalin needles with us all the time but I can assure you that having to inject your loved one to save her life is terrifying! Especially as there is nothing else you can do once it's done!

I can assure you, having seen it many times, that it's not a fun situation to observe, let alone experience, and it's something I plan to avoid!

Fully agree and understand and really dont envy your position, it just seems there are too many people about, that should have died.

When we introduced our kids to peanuts, they were watched very carefully for any possible reaction, but I can't imagine many people do that.

maybe 1st attacks are mild and get progressively worse   :-?

Right... This is how I imagined it going after last year. I'm not dictating things but just think it's better to get things a little organised ::) ::) :y :y

I plan to stick the Pikey Palace as far away from the bulk of the site as possible (near the bridge) with the awning and the 2 Gazebo's tacked onto the side... That'll give a reasonable sized covered area (if required) to shelter from both wet stuff and sunshine :y :y :y I know it wont be central to the area we're in but it's only a small site :y :y

I have a large wind break and IIRCC Sir Moanalot has too... We can enclose the area a little for protection from wind and also to channel sound away from the rest of the site. We gathered in one area (beside our caravan/awning) last year, for both evenings, and it worked really well.

Last year we all made our own cooking arrangements but cooked together in the same area. I have a little gas Barbie which I'm more than happy to throw things on for other people but I do need to be a little careful as SWMBO has severe food allergies. I know that there will be a couple of other Barbies along too :y :y :y

We have already made arrangements with johnnycboy and his clan to sort our food between us for the evening and breakfast meals. I think it's easier to supply our own food as not everyone will eat the same things and, without sounding ungrateful, Emma and I need to check ingredients of food because of her allergies.

So, I would suggest we bring our own food along (and cooking facilities arranged between us) but cook and socialise in the same area :y :y :y I know there'll be a large gas Barbie on Friday too (thanks PJM!) so I'm willing to take my turn at the grill! I personally like to eat slowly and steadily through the evening when I'm on a session (which I intend to be ::) ::)) but each to their own :y :y :y

Any thoughts or idea's greatly received :y :y :y

I'm sorted thanks LD ;D,  but I have been known to creep all over the place for extras :-X.

See how things go with the food consumption friday night and then gauge it from there.

Naturally, its tradition that I bring along a bottle or Port, just to prove I am actually civilised ::)

With no Mr DTM, I guess I'll also have to bring a small cheese and biccy selection for late night supper.  Just to help the port down, you understand ;D

Ok I'll concentrate on the cheese side of the equation then.

You've given me an idea......

You know my love of tractors, and Mr DTM's love of big toys....  ....I wonder if we could graft a deltic into an Omega ::)
