Shame I haven't got a large garden, we could have had strawberries and cream on the way there or back........

I know there were a good few but I dont think there were 125 of them present.

I'm trying to convince myself to travel from Teesside to Northampton in a Series II
That would be easy although I'm not sure I'd be convinced to go back again ;-) (Midlander at heart)
With a few bits of gaffa tape, mine made it to Gambia in January... Northampton really isn't that far!

Maybe so but the colour schemes need to be tamed down a bit otherwise it might look like a spread from the Teddy Bears picnic

AND what might you be referring to.....?
U got a problem with pink or Teddy Bears?
PS Possible to paint tents now. Not sure if they have to be made of a certain fabric. Could be some interesting moggy related designs............
