Dent 'At Home' Virtual Camping Weekend 15-17 May 2020

Hi Guys, just arrived I’ve chosen a pitch by the raised beds in case I get hungry in the night.

As you will see later I’ve brought out my Blacks of Greenock - “Senior Wren” compact two person abode which I’ve had 46 years, went up a treat nothing missing all good. Few bits of gaffer tape and some bent pegs but it will be fine tonight.

I’ve brought along Tilly our border collie and have managed to grab a few pints of some sort of Marsh beer - for clarity it’s not a dodgy home brew it is brewed on Romney Marsh and a village worthy is currently purchasing a barrel a week from the brewery and its up for grabs for a small donation. So 4 Litres of Marsh something or other for £10 - I’m in.

Not sure if Margaret will come this far down into Kent so I’ll sort my contribution to the air ambulance via the link.

Sorry to be domestic, and I hope you understand-but it looks like the early potatoes caught the frost last night, guess they will recover. I did cover the border plants and they are ok.

You would thing folk would respect the weekend break - I’ve just been interrupted by a bloke with a borehole as his only water supply. Had it two years and no problem, now it isn’t working and he has no water. Can I come and fix it ? I’ve suggested he sends me some photographs of it so I know what he has. It won’t fix it, but he will feel that he’s doing something and also have something to tell his wife.

The journey here wasn’t too bad, went the long way and have to admit I used the Honda. Had an issue with 410 L of red diesel that’s blocking the bridle way but that can wait until tomorrow.

Anyway I’m having fish and chips shortly - actually probably Salmon and mashed potatoes if I’m honest and my 21 year old boy gets cooking. He offered me some camping food sachets “boil in the bag” type stuff that we got in Pitlochry. I’ll go with the Salmon.

I’ll let you know how the the guy without the bore hole gets along - maybe even have some pictures if Harold can operate the camera on his phone.

Neighbours boy is playing his guitar- I’d like to say it’s nice ... but can’t.

Feel free to pop over for a chat if your close by - socially distancing of course, don’t know if Giles or Bounce are along this weekend.

See you all later

Pizza has been delivered,

lol that'll teach the spooty oik on his pedaroo to deliver that lot lol, he thought it was local HAHA

First can of Cider opened ;)

Cheers all

Update

Starlinks could be 10:35 allowing for BST ;)
 
Fekk, there's a lot of tents here as well as a couple of vans. I'm over in the corner of this field if anyone wants to drop in for a drink and share some bollox. Afraid the old GS is awaiting new fuel lines so had to rely on Mister Honda again. Cracking night and just going to flip some burgers. Anyone else seen those Swedish ladies with no clothes on just a few tents away?....they're in that teepee sort of tent and they've left the door open :drool

Anyone know what time the "turn" is on?:beerjug:

Cheers all.

Can't you rig a tarp up by your house next to the bike; somebody must have got an old green carpet for you to cook and sleep on;:D. My tent will be up. There may even be something you could loosely describe as pictures also;:D:beerjug:

Ha ha ... ye of little faith :D

I made this tarp up soon after we bought the house, over thirty years ago, so I could play with the motorbike. It's mid terrace, no shed, no garage, not enough space. Just a small enclosed rear yard!

The drinks cabinet set up ...

There's more in the fridge. I treated myself to the bottle of Lagavulin, and it wasn't't even on special offer. The Morf/Buff is what Kev (Norm on here) treated to me to on a distillery visit a couple of years ago. Thank you Kev :beerjug:

Pop across for a drink any of ya's, the bar's open :beerjug:

Chimenea lit, supper on the go. I like to keep it simples :D

Not getting out for a bit its warm in here and I’m waiting until Margaret call out that bacon rolls are ready.

Bit noisy last night owls and wolves howling and now the Lions are getting grumpy for food - we are near a zoo park down here

We’re are we heading today - trip round London with Wapping Or a jaunt round Edinburgh with Posh Pete ? Gerard have you got anything up your sleeve ?
