    Will the weather be dryer by then??  Having just spent 10 days just about swimming in Devon I am trying to be careful!

    I love The Cotswolds and would definitely have joined you but it clashes with my touring in Scotland. Enjoy itLaughing

    Where are you coming to in Scotland? Maybe our paths could cross.

    Have I got this right, 2 nights at Broadway and then 2 nights at  Tewkesbury?  I was thinking I might do this one with a couple of extra nights at Tewkesbury and then go on to Malvern for the birthday meet.  I'll have to make sure my cat sitter can cover
    it for me.

    Hi Peter, yes, 2 nights at each. Will be good to see you there. Wish I could also extend and do the birthday trip. Pesky work gets in the way. But maybe not for much longer......

    Hi, I've booked 3 nights at Tewkesbury, giving me 2 full days on site and leaving on Friday 29th. This will be my first solo meeting. I tried for Malvern but everything seems to be booked up weeks ago due to the show. Drats!

    Hi Phil, you're going to get to Tewkesbury a bit before us as Elaine and I are both on the Broadway site first and moving to Tewkesbury on 27th.  Make sure you have the Solo sign up in your window so I can find you,  as will I if you see me first.  My outfit
    is a Stirling Eccles 570 with a Disco 2 tug.  Its dead easy to spot when parked as the spare wheel carries the legend OLD GUYS RULE.  What is your outfit?

    Write your comments here...hi, a Disco two is a Land Rover Discovery series 2  but just look out for the rear wheel cover! Have fun!

    Just had a couple of lovely days at Broadway,  a couple of showers but mostly glorious sunshine,  just getting ready to move on to Tewkesbury.  I hope the weather hangs in the same there.  Found a new local gin in Broadway called, how surprising, "Cotswolds
    Dry Gin".  Aparantly last years winner of the national gin competition,  never heard of it but I thought I'd give it a try. Not bad,  it has some local lavender in it and you can taste it, sort of.  A bit dryer than many but a worthwhle addition to the collection.

    Glad to hear you're having a good time Peter.  It's chucking it down with rain here at the mo and we've had several brief flurries of snow over the last few days so I hope you're going to bring some of that nice westher to Malvern with you.  See you soon!

    Ofsted stopped play..... Had to leave Tewkesbury suddenly this morning after getting email from work saying Ofsted are coming next week.... Such a shame, as I didn't get to see much of the place. Lovely couple of days in Broadway. Good to catch up with Peter
    and meet David and Phil
