I used to keep a Lert,but I had to let it go,as they only eat ice-cream and are expensive to feed.

I don't think I even realised there was an ice cream raffle prize or I'd have been stockpiling tickets ....I'll have to keep alert this year, clearly.

Ah, I seem to remember the prize was at the Ice Cream shop in Bude, you had to go and get free ice cream with your voucher thingy!
Raffle is not my department Ill see what I can find out at Folk Club!

Looks like a glut of new vans!! Karen has just got a new,bigger,one,(caravan)and we are off to the Midlands,loik, tomorrow morning early,to collect it,loik ; they talk like that in Stoke (I think).
So lots of visits to each other for cups of tea,or maybe something stronger ( and hugs )!

So glad you'll be able to make it Christine!!

Looks like we'll be coming down on the Friday, hopefully there by teatime. We've got a pet-sitter calling in on Rusty who'll be home alone. We're finding it very hard to trust her not to get into trouble as she's getting a lot of exercise chasing the foxes. The cubs are due to come out soon so the Vixen is going to lose patience at that point I think. Fingers crossed!

Lucy, any chance you could do some juggling with the program or I'll miss having a sing? And will there be ice-cream as a raffle prize this year?

If I have the new van you will all be welcome but I am just waiting for someone to give me my money back so I can get it.   If not then I'll just have to commute, it's only 45 mins from home. Looking forward to getting lots of hugs.

Well done Lucy, that looks like a Fantastic weekend of fun!

Not sure if we'll get there on the Thursday or the Friday due to problems regarding Rusty the fearless (and stoopid) kitten who has taken up the old sport of fox-chasing, so I might miss some of the singing I'm down for, but I'll definitely make up for it when we get there *grin*

Mudgather after breakfast on Sunday then? There's a challenge and a half. Can one have pudding after breakfast consisting of mostly chocolate?
