OK guys, the Glasgow meeting was a great success, so how about another one. HAppy Hippys sprog is due early June so it needs to be mid May latest for her. Venue Guardbridge Hotel for Lunch -if you'd like to join us, suggest dates when you are free folks.

Weekdays or weekends?
Ayr County show is the weekend of 8th/9th May. I think Fife show will be on the 22nd May, I have a goats only show the weekend of 29th/30th May, though by then it will be too late for HH anyway.
I can make a weekday, but only if I know in advance so I can take it off work.

Hiya,
Weekdays are better for me (seriously couldn't inflict my kids on everyone :o)
If late May/early June is better for everyone I'll just bring my OH - hell, he's delivered one already, I'm sure he could do it again if need be ! lol !
C'mon folks - who's all coming ?
-
Me me me me me - can I take my baby dog with me though, he's ever so good and will stay in the car while we eat. If we have it mid May it might be nice enough to sit at teh picnic benches.
-
The last few years we have had some brilliant sunshine in May have we not?
-
I'd like to come but my diary is a bit unpredictable. If you set a date, I'll try and make it.
-
I'm booked up 2nd 15th 22nd 30th, but free weekdays the whole month. How about,(just plucking a number out of the air), Tuesday the 18th?? Would that suit you firstly, James? If not maybe the 19th?
-
Annie I am here 24/7 so doesn't matter to me. :)
-
should be ok for me , am away end of april but not for long and not out of the country /me goes back to sleeping under the computer in computer land
-
ANNIE - It was me that peeped at you outside the COOP in Clackmannan today, sorry didn't have time to get out as had to be at the dentist. :wave:
-
BIG trouble today in Clackmannan, Police, RSPSA and the Black Moria, loads of bunnies taken and that was near the CO-op, I think ANne was hanging around to get a look,I had far too much to do as ALL the bedrooms needed doing and I needed to get my curry pot on ::). I had my fill at the weekend after the Rangers Celtic game, it was like a battle ground outside then!!! otherwise, Calckmannan is quiet shhhhhh!!!
-
They had a doo like that down ClayLane expecting hundreds of demonstrators and only a handfull turned up the Echo reported 2 policemen to 1 demonstrator ???
-
I was NOT hanging around!!!! :'( :'( >:( I was getting Bobby used to traffic and noise - not that he gives a s&%t! ;) After all he IS a Brittany. Cares about nothing except food and hunting birds and rabbits. Oh and humpoing things - he just jumped on me and started to hump so got thrown off and now he's at my shoes! ;D ;D ;D ;D
I just happened to see the vans as I drove past to go to the cash point at the Co-op ::).
Yes, James I realised it was you after you went past, didn't have time to wave, sorry.
-
loads of bunnies taken
I needed to get my curry pot on
curry pot full of bunnies ?
-
I cannot think of any food much more revolting OH I can FISH
-
Love Fish, so easy to cook, fish pie is a wonderful comfort food!! I have just had Salmon and salad, fantastic better than any meat.....Anne, living in the center of Clackmannan, I love watching "everything" I find it entertaining but I would never drink at the local pub, far tooooo problamatic....Anyway, nothing wrong with being a voyer, I saw the couple who had had thier bunnies taken, sit next to Robert the Bruces family crest and the pagan fertility stone, they had a fag to relieve their stress...what amazes me is the fact Clackmannan had so many key points in Scottish History and knowone seems to know..Blackadder's lived her and still do, Mary Queen of Scots visited, Robbie Burns, Robert the Bruce and loads of othe royalty and what looks like the whold of Braveheart was set around here! now it is full of unemplyed drunkerds who fight and fued!! Oh well, I am in the right place then!!
-
Sandy you forget to mention one very important piece of history - I was born in Clackmannan hee hee.
-
Oh yes, but you have yet to make the history books???? I went for a walk last year and had had a LOT of "POP" and as Ben was a bit obstanant, I took some biscuits, we went to the Tower and we heard lot's of Young people so I stayed at the kissing gate (in my altered state!) and Steve went on with the dogs and I thought he would come back for me but he never so I stayed at the gate with my bickies!, the young people slowly came back though the kissing gate and I thought!! "shall I not say anything o shall I speak?" Decided to speak, so, so each of the young people came through the gate, I, dressed in a big coat and eating some bickies at midnight said..."HELLO!" how funny was that? a middle aged pissed women at the gate with a packet of biscuits letting young people through the gate?????
-
;D ;D ;D Sandy
It would have been funnier if you'd handed them each a bikkie as they went past, like a ticket ;D Ypu can imagine what they told their mams when they got home, 'Mom, there was a mad lady handing out bikkies at the gate at midnight' :o
-
It was Very surreal!! I realy did not know to do...I was in a hooded coat with a packet of rich tea, I ask you, what would you do? I must add...this is an ancient castle that belonged to Robert the Bruce and his family for centuries!!!!! If you were to venture 300 yards from our house you would see it, the ari is so pure and there is sooooo much history, it it spooky but nice, I love it!!! what would you do?????
-

It is very nice of you to offer Annie. Kath and I would love to come but IF I should have a conkout all that way to your house it would be a disaster for us and a very big inconvenience to you.So I shall wish for all you good people to meet and have a lovely time and think about Wizard and Kath missing out .Mind don't think long will you and spoil the day ah! ah!We don't go to far away now Lincoln and hopefully Spalding Flower Parade and some fairly local Ploughing matches.That reminds me I haven't called on the All England Champion since before last Christmas.Do you know I don't know how ever I found time to go to work I used to work a minimum 50hr week and do all the things and more than I do now I was secretary at Rasen Camera Club I haven't been there for yonks. ??? :D ;D
-
The date is firmly in my diary ! and bump will just have to be ok ! ;D ;D ;D

Is it a boy bump or a girl bump Happy and I shal'nt be able to feel it playin football Oh dear ;D ;D :farmer:
-
Hi Wizard,
Not sure if it's a boy or girl yet. It's not something that really worries me too much (got my boy last time round ;)) But I've to get scans further on to check things are okay for the home birth so hopefully we'll be able to tell from those - supposing I don't though - it'll be a nice surprise ;D Whatever it is - it certainly knows how to kick, that's for sure lol! :o
-
Can't wait. It will be a delight to meet so many experts.
Sorry about this - I was a tad p*ssed off yesterday :( and having a strop. I wish I could blame my hormones but I can't ;D
I've put the date in the diary and hope I will be able to get there and meet up with chums old and new.
-
Hey Rosemary - everybody has bad days no need to apologise, hope you're feeling happier today ;D :-*
I think it's time for the move to happen soon so you can get more pigs and indulge in a bit of piggie thereapy ;)
Monday's are now my favourite day of the week (unlike most folks ;)) cos the kids are at school and I get to spend a bit of extra time on ear scratching and belly rubbing (- FOR THE PIGS ! before anyone gets smart ;)) Definately good for the soul :pig: :pig: :pig:
-
Same here Rosemary, you're smashing and it'll be great to meet you and everyone who can come.

I'm coming up in the car - well more accurately I'm being brought up by hubby ::) There's a degree of paranoia that I'll decide to give birth by myself at the roadside somewhere just to go one better than the rest of my births :o lol!

Thats why i asked lol!
I threatened hubby he had to take his mobile EVERYWHERE in case and i self imposed a driving bad near the due date because i couldn't reverse because i couldn't turned around while sitting because i was big lol. I didn't fancy getting to ozzy on my own or him not being at the birth but he could 'f-off' when it was finished lol
