Wellies are a must, besides Fez needs insoles to munch, be prepared!!! xx
I have a problem with wellies. I can’t get them on and it’s pointless anyway for two reasons, one is that I can’t walk more than a few steps with FES (no not Fez, FES) and a walker. And I think I’d just have all manner of problems with being in a field. The other is that on the Island, the weather will be balmy all the time. Therefore wellies will only be needed by the snake phobic amongst us.
Plus, why are we camping? Aren’t we going to be a bit more comfy than that? I think my camping days are behind me. And I have no chance of persuading Mr Sssue to come if we have to camp. And I can’t manage without him, I’d fall to pieces without my Mr.
I’m sorry to say that Mr Sssue requires more in the way of posh hotels and comfy beds, plus decent showers (without other people’s wee running along a shared drain). He also needs access to nice food and wine. There must be a nice hotel or two on the Island that we could requisition?
If some of our number are sold on yurts and camping, that’s fine. But I want luxury. (Purely, you understand for Mr Sssue, I’d be fine in Butlins!)

Sue, I totally agree. I was hoping someone would state about a nice hotel. My wellies have spiders in them & I’m considering letting hubs grow some nice daffies in them, as they are as much use to me as nipples are to a chicken. I was trying to show some, perhaps, over enthusiastic, love for camping but I actually hate it, never liked it since our airbed was floating in a foot of water, went down & it was actually drier outside than it was in the bloody tent. As for a caravan, my hubbie has no idea of parking 1, I was sick when we last used 1, he had parked on a slant & it felt like sleeping upside down. All the blood went to my head & never again. Hotels all the way, besides, I need someone to cook my dinner, wash up after it & do the washing, hang on, sounds like home already!! xx
Unpack the anorak and in with the cocktail dress … fab !!
You like the hotel idea as well, don’t you Flutterby, I can tell!!! Bugger mud up to our armholes, I want fluffy towels & little sachets of shampoo, hope your taking this into consideration AD, us women need pampering xx
the less faff the better, in my opinion! cant do wi faffin` nowadays! still, they cant touch you for it, should anyone quite fancy a bit of a faff!

look after being on luxury cruises, theres no way I wanna camp! little luxuries like room service, chox on the pillow, and sweet little Phillipino boys saying Welcome aboard madam. Is there anything I can do for you? Hmmm...well leave it at that methinks!

Don’t like fields eh?
Actually I think I’m changing my mind somewhat, it’s not all about Mr Sssue. I want, In fact I demand, full on luxury. 5* hotel with plenty of room service, accessible swimming pool and spa, a decent menu and wine list. Little snacks to go with aperitifs on the terrace. Posh chocs with the coffee. Not too up itself and fancy (I want to be able to just wear comfy clothes for dinner), but not one of those spa hotels where guests wear bathrobes to breakfast.
And if you can’t have precisely the kind of accommodation you desire in a virtual sense, then what’s the point?

(By the way, am admiring the new chin stroking profile picture AD!)

Looks like l shall have to bring my son and his family. He actually builds Yurts! - They are eco-warriors - live in a Roundhouse they built. lt has a tree in the centre which the stairs are built around. A growing roof. And a detached composting loo!
They grow most of their food. Long poly tunnels of fruit and veg.

AD 's new pic - does look more like ~Peter Fogg [ Postman Pat]
Hadnt notice AD`s change until Sue mentioned it!
I didnt like the socks anyway…why? because they matched, arent they supposed to be odd anyway|?
Frances, your gang are totally green arent they? Isnt it draughty round the tree…or is it adequately stuffed with odd socks?

He’s got the same colour hair as my hubby
They are very warm and cosy Poll. Woodburner heats water and radiators - plus they also cook on it.
Sue, have a google of lOD - perhaps Osbourne House would be more to your liking. Get your name down on it asap. ln fact their is probably enough room for all of us.
Queen Victoria will not mind.
I think AD has already claimed Osbourne House as an ‘official residence’. Otherwise I would be bashing the door down in a hurry (and even if he were prepared to share it, would you? He’s a certified nutcase!)

I am not certified.
I am a self taught amateur.
Are you lot for real?
Oh yes John, we are certainly real, most certainly
