'Newbies' I hope made very welcome, and felt welcome . We'll do 'summats' similar next year somewhere, see you there?

A good couple of photos of Sir Icarus and famiy, Michele, ( I hope I have spelt that correctly ) Matt and Chloe, fantastic children, (Serfs) and Sir Grizzly and Tina with Bella , all the six dogs got on together. Great.
And then were three left.
We left at 10.30 this morning leaving Sir Haggis to go into town to have a meal and maybe a drink on their own,
Any way back home, Caravan cleaned ready for out again to search sites for the next " Woosie fest for next September., lets hope others will arrange for a Spring Meet up in their areas, North and South . Elaine and myself will try to make any meet ups if possible . Nothing set in Granite though. Early days for me.

Note King Were Rabbit wearing his crown designed and built by Sir Gaffer Bill and Lady Belinda.Queen Bacchus is seated on her Royal derrière next to the King.
I hope many more Woosies and Forumites join us next year. The Woosies are a great bunch of people who know how to caravan and enjoy life.
We celebrated two wedding anniversaries at this year’s Fest. Sir Gabs and Lady Jean, then Ruby one for the new King and his Queen. The Sir Gag Kev and Lady Mags Buckfast Tonic wine rejuvenated the parts othe beer didn’t
Now enjoying the sun’s rays at Poston Mill, a wonderful site with FS and 16 amp, bar and restaurant all for £23 a night. Dogs are free 
Arrived home a short time ago, good to meet up with old friends and new aquaintances.
It's the people who attend who make such a get-together so worthwhile, big thanks to all I have met before and to those who I was delighted to meet for the first time.
A special mention for our new monarch, not an easy role to fill but no doubt he will do us proud, all the best (Copterman), King Woosie.

I see one of my well trained guard dogs, is by my side waiting for a rabbit bone to be dropped.
Looking good at Poston Mill. Now enjoying a relax in the very nearby Mill restaurant and Bar :evil: :evil:
'Now enjoying a relax in the very nearby Mill restaurant and Bar' -- Now there's a surprise!!!
.......still out and about
Spent 4 nights on a site near Hereford after leaving Elm Cottage.
Hereford is a very interesting city with lots to see and do.
Now on a rally very near Abingdon town centre on the banks of the Thames and we've still got the sunny weather :cheer:
The Nag's Head is only 150 meters down the river bank and over the bridge

Whilst at The Woosie Fest, I was asked about the Robot Delivery Boxes, in Milton Keynes. Well today I passed some queing up outside a Coffee and Burger bar, probably waiting for the lunchtime rush.

Useful as seats for tired travellers, or as a back up mobility aid if your own battery is flat.
As a teenager I wouldn’t have been able to resist the temptation to upend one! Come to think about it ..........
In th3 immortal words of Diana Ross I am still waiting.EH52ARH said:Whilst at The Woosie Fest, I was asked about the Robot Delivery Boxes, in Milton Keynes. Well today I passed some queing up outside a Coffee and Burger bar, probably waiting for the lunchtime rush.
Maybe Milton Keynes to Cricklade is too far :evil: :woohoo:

Found a good site near Kev and Mags, just got to check with him . We will check it out as well.
Well, hope you all had an excellent time at Woosiefest, just gutted we couldnt be with you. Our home disaster has turned into something major and we are still at least a month from completion. Havent been around as we had to bag the PC up due to the dust and disruption. Hey ho, thats life.
Certainly hoping to be at the next one, wherever and whenever it is.
Looking like December before we can get away again, which will be a new experience for us.

Yes Thingy not the best site for a Woosie fest, but It happened, My toilet cistern leak has turned into a saga as the Artiec ceiling might have asbestos, samples taken yesterday. Then dental and Medical stuff. I am looking around the country for sites to suit us all.
I have one in mind for a Spring fest , in Dorset so Kev and Mags can be there. But have to get in touch with them and do a trial week there. .
Have the same thing with Artex. Samples came back negative thankfully so easier to deal with. We started with the insurance company sending in plumbers for track and trace and a drying company with industrial dehumidifiers and blowers running constantly for a fortnight. Then came the plumbers for the second time. We had plasterers after that, and after waiting for that to dry, the decorators arrived. And what a story that was. They made a right pigs ear of the papering and were most disgruntled when they were told to take it all off again and do it properly. Now stripped for the second time, and Wreckam and Bodgitt are back again Monday for another 10 days or so, A slight break then the bathroom fitters start to strip out the entire bathroom on Oct 28th. If we get away in December, it will rank with turning wine into water (my sort of miracle ). And all this because a damned cowboy used a plastic cap to cap a pipe off instead of a heavier duty one. Had he not cracked it putting it on, or even replaced it when he cracked it, we would not have had any of this.
Oh for five minutes in a locked room with him. :evil:

Was looking for 'somewhere' for a 'few' days in Oct. Thought we would have a look at The Black Bull - Pickering. But looking at the recent Google picture it has changed a lot since we were there with Woosies, probably too busy for us now?

I am not so sure , it was a lovely, place, maybe they have put in serviced pitch's. Kev thought he was being clever and filling his water butts from the tap by the hose, but I kept turning it off. We would still go up there.
Looking at it The static are well away from the real caravanners. Sstill good. .
