Hope all you fulltiming wanabees are enjoying the weather. Get an RV and put the air conditioning on. I never thought you needed it in the UK but it is an absolute treat today.

We got an MOT today and

it made me look to see how far we have travelled in the last 18 months. We have been all over the west and south coast of France, down to Rome got the ferry to Barcelona , had the winter in Spain, got the Bilbao ferry to Portsmouth and have been here for a few months. Well all that has put only 5000 km on the clock, so it is no wonder it passed the MOT it has hardly been used.

Having said all that we take a car with us and in the same time that has done nearly 23000 kms. and we have been down all the narrow lanes and tiny places that you cannot get into in an RV

I think Dazzer has gone away so I thought I would keep up the good RV work

Hi Billym

As it happens the RVs are nearly out in equal force to the Europeans. There are four RVs here and five Europeans. Counting Kands who paid us a visit on Friday that makes five RVs although this is counterbalanced by two Euros who also paid flying visits on Friday.

If you and Jim had been able to make it the RVs would have come out top Crying or Very sad

Not that its a competition of course Laughing

As to the air con I think a few of us had it roaring away most of the day.Mind you I said to Shona at 9am that I was going for a walk to use the campsite loos and in true Artona style did not return to the van until 1am the following day Laughing

I got waylaid by Suzy and the Webagents and we delved into deep meaningful converstation, at 12 noon I really could wait no more and popped to the loo. By this time most of the MHFers had joined us around the Damon Ultrasport and that was the place we stayed for the rest of the day. The BBQ was held although I am really not sure we needed 10 BBQs for 20 people Very Happy

, however the food was as splendid as ever.

It was nice to hear a few of the members who were attending their first MHF meet appeared impressed with the informality of the whole affair.

We celebrated one couples first day as fulltimers and one members 53rd birthday, I will let them own up and tell the whole story.

Suzy and the Webagents serenaded us with a version of NO NO NO NO NO NO NO at midnight which was highly impressive as lead gadget man Brian had spent the day chasing around the field playing many varied sports games with the children and then spent the night chasing around the field finding missing children. He also spent the night plotting how he could hang a 62inch monitor on the side of the Ultrasport so we can play wiII games or something, I am sure all will be revealed in the fullness of time but games of tennis and boxing were discussed. Laughing

The night was finally ended with a firework display, supplied by tenters over the otherside of the field and then coffee and biscuits supplied by Suzy. Many thanks Suzy and webagents for your hospitality throughout the day, it was fantastic.

Anyone reading this, if you have not been on a meet or rally before there are quite a few coming up, have a look on the MHF home page where they are listed. There are no initiation tests, no big introductions and no flagpole to sit around. Just come and blend in, you will love it

Hi Stew,

Sorry that we couldn't be there, (otherwise engaged) but glad that it is going well.

Rita and I enjoyed ourselves at last years "full timing meet".

See you all soon.

I am home mind you it was all of 12 miles but so surprised there is such a super site so close by.

It was very interesting meeting all the full timers Rolling Eyes

Big thanks to Suzy for playing host and then serenading us all Wink

Cant wait to get away again after we have moved and all i can say about MHF meets is they are SO friendly Wink

Big thanks to Brian & Stew for sorting out my laptop Very Happy

We have arrived home from attending the meet. We had a great time. Thanks to everyone for making us welcome. In particular, Thanks to Stew for organising it, and to Brian and Suzy for welcoming us as we arrived. We were part of the european contingent, but it was fascinating to listen to some of the "big" boys. It was also useful for convincing my wife that we had not bought a van too big for English roads, In fact we felt quite small and cozy parked among this collection of big RV's. Hope to see everyone again soon.

Regards

Bernard
