    Thumbs up north wood bluebell meet- pic heavy!

    another cracking meet, thanks to those that attended.

    a bit wet and windy but no big deal plenty of arty crafty stuff going on under the communal around the fire, and of course our popular bushy style car boot happy birthday sally!

    the shot of a few lads in the pickup was a bit like a bunch of SA mercenaries!


    anyway, heres a few (ok i lie) shots...
















































































































































    thanks for looking
    give more than you take

    a few carvings

    especially like that last picture, can't help thinking it should have Adagio for Strings playing for that one LOL.

    Cheers for sharing

    Lovely pics, Martin, especially love the bones of the last meet left among the bluebells! I picked up some of Barbaras trees' windfall blossom, said hi when I passed her tree and had a thoroughly excellent time. As we're loading up Steves thread as much as his pickup, here's some of my snaps...


    I was wondering if Barbara had set this birch


    According to Bodge, his Youngling was very 'tyred' when they got back.... *groans!*


    Mmmmm Goulash.... Twas delicious, wasn't it?!


    *Thank you* so much, Martin, for the wonderful medicinal properties of constant hot water and camp coffee! Congratulations on your latest steel baby, btw, tis bonny and beautiful Thanks for letting me hold and stroke it for so long


    All in all, a most wonderful (albeit wet and windy) weekend Happy Birthday, Northwood Meeters! x
