Jules,
Pleased about your grandmother's good report.

I hope everyone has a splendid time at the get together. Are you still calling this house party moved outdoors a campout? I am a bit concerned that in the hundreds of replies on your thread I see no planning about how you're going to work the camp guard schedule. Surely you'll need to keep watch for rampaging sheep. Be careful now and have fun. Susan

more like a Hilton than a camp Susan

my nan is doing great thanks, last report involved a cadburys caramel, and she is now tucked up in bed listening to Chris someone or other on Radio Wales

[carolfoy]

Its nearly here!

woohoo indeed Claire, can't wait!! pasties are ordered, Tescos gets hit tonight, bakery tomorrow morning for Johs saffron and then we're on our way!

 

[carolfoy]

a dozen pasties ordered, i hope thats enough!
also theres a good chance I may be bringing a tent after all, will that be a problem?
will be stopping at Lizzies in Wales on the way through and lovely boyf says he'll nip up to tal y bont and deliver it for me if i want, says he'll help erect it too but i don't want to put him to too much trouble so think we may be able to manage it ourselves (by plying Ian with drink of course )

I think thats a great idea Carol, much better than sleeping in the party tent, I am sure enough booze and Ian will be happy to help

At this rate Ian is going to be very busy and very drunk!

Just been to Tesco to stock on the most important thing - beer and wine

i hope he is on his way to the midlands Honey

you're doing better than me then, just trying to motivate to pack, need to squash duvet pillows etc into exceptionally small car which smells like a bakery.
fudge is distinctly lacking I'm afraid but saffron buns are in stock, a couple of cornish ales for Tam, pasties are loaded, clotted cream onboard and 3 loaves of bread. Is that enough? i guess i'm only covering friday night and saturday morning? got panic on now that we may starve.
do i need to get portable bbq's? or can i borrow someone elses to cook bacon for brekkie on?
