Barney,
There are messages for you to read in Chit Chat,under the title Barney's Birthday!!
thanks very much for that Maureen, just read all the comments, aren't people nice? we have only been caravanning for 5 years, and i must say when on sites approx 90 percent of other caravanners totally blank you, and we think "what an ignorant person" it costs nothing to say hello and have a crack. our ideal caravan trip would be to go on a site and EVERYONE to get on, speak and have a crack, we (me and my partner susan) wish for the day when a total stranger who you have only just met on site were to knock at our caravan door with a bottle of wine or similar and say fancy a drink and a crack? every site we have ever been on (mainly CL's) other people just lock themselves away in their own vans, shut the blinds and be unsocial. we on the other hand like a drink (as you have probably guessed) and do not shut our blinds until bed time, as a sort of invitation for others to join us. for 7 or 8 complete strangers to wish me happy birthday in a sort of internet chat room for caravanners means to me "there are some genuine, kind, thoughtfull fellow vanners out there after all" i now wish you were all coming with us to howgrave hall tomorrow. what a fantastic birthday that would be, with Maureen singing happy birthday that is. again thank you very much, and you were wrong Maureen to say i won't want kisses from you, bring them on Maureen, plenty of them. BARNEY. x x x (they're for you Maureen)
