          Thinking about it, I’ll be retired then (:yes:), and considering we’ll be well into ‘touring’ by then, we’ll probably be looking for a local campsite :)

              @Loki Full details are in the poster on the first post. :blue thumb:

              It's quite a distance for you and you may prefer to B&B it. ARMANDII and Zigs always B&B and some other members have also done it that way.

              Although it's a long way it's a very easy drive. A1 most of the way, then straight on the A14 and M11. I go to Keswick fairly often and do it in four and a half hours (including a brief sandwich and loo break) but I drive fast. :noidea:

              CanadianLori is flying in from Canada - where else would she be coming from? :snorky:

                      @shiney what a lovely offer to members...checked your area as i would have loved to come and meet members :love30: but it would take nearly 3 hours to get there :yikes: plus two stop off's in between as the old bones ache...stuck in one position to much :old:

                      I need a good hour to wake up properly :coffee:...then there's getting ready s**t and shampoo :phew:...so wouldn't set out till dinner :gaah:

                      :thankyou: again for the lovely gesture...just a shame i won't be able to come [​IMG]

                        I'm on hols the Mon to Fri, 21 to 25 the week before, so will be recovering/catching up on planting on the weekend following.

                        But I'm holidaying close to a GC member who'll be going, so will hopefully they will be able to pass on some plants.

                        Unfortunately I'll be unavailable that weekend as I've promised to go to a Worm Charming event, so I'll be banging my stob into the ground, then rubbing it with my rooping iron.

                            This is the highlight of my year :) I can't wait to get to shineyland :yahoo: & see you all.
                            @"M" what? What! You can't come? :cry3: What about the asparagus? I know you've taught
                            me how to tend to it but it won't be the same without you helping!! My bones are getting old....I'm not sure I can 'do' it all in one day single handed!! :heehee:

                            On a serious note I did promise someone last year that I'd fetch them from the airport if they were flying in but I can't for the life of me remember who it was :scratch:....anyway whoever you were the offer still stands :thumbsup: I shall be going straight past :dbgrtmb:.

                            @CanadianLori I'm looking forward to meeting you, I'm so pleased you are able to come this year :dbgrtmb:

                            See you all soon folks :yay::hapydancsmil:

                                My darling girl ... if my old bones have kept the knack ... I can assure you, you will be most fine! Just think ... GC Lurve! ;) ... and I'm sure you will "rise" to the occasion (as, no doubt, the asparagus will under your administrations :whistle: ).
                                I'm counting on you :dbgrtmb:
