Arrived on Friday afternoon, soon had the tent up, but this poxy porch/extension we'd got took friggin' hours
, admittedly it'll be much quicker next time... ...only this one needs to go back as its faulty.
Everyone slowly arrived, and before long the BBQ was on, and my favourite applejuice was flowing... ...which meant Entwood had to do the chip shop run
. Mark rather foolishly put an Islay malt in front of me, which was sipped in time honoured fashion, putting the world to right. Warmed the cockles of my heart. As is the tradition at OOF meets, the evening ended with some cheese and biccies, washed down with a little LBV port.
I was quite tired Saturday morning, but following tradition, a good grease infusion cured my ailments, all lovingly prepared by DTM, Mrs TB, Mrs Jimbob and Jimbob ensured the brew was on. I was only entrusted to cooking the beanz
.
Having reached that utopia of nobodys car needing anything major doing, most of us went out sight seeing for the day, as a group. Personal thanks to the Jimbobs for the taxi service, as I really do not think I should have driven myself!
Arrived back to the site, a couple more turned up, I watched MDTM break Tonygnome's dashboard with his big fists, before the evening started. More applejuice, more BBQ, more port etc, all sat around the firepit in the photos above.
This morning was another breakkie, to help with the over indulgence of the night before.
Another thoroughly enjoyable OOF weekend, I enjoyed every minute, so thank you to everyone who came, and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
My one regret is that I managed to miss NF, over in the grown ups field, all weekend - I did pop round Saturday evening, but the caravan looked like all lights out, yet car was there, so I didn't like to knock in case you'd had an early night. And looked like you'd left when I popped over this afternoon
. I hope you enjoyed your holiday
