Recommended Posts

Being out and about all day on Saturday following the booty of my missus into any bookstore or whatever other shop she likes to visit, following her booty also throughout a yet to be determined city in a 2 hour radius from Spalding, i'll bet i am as hungry as a prisoner being on a hungerstrike for two weeks..  ;)  GROOOWWWWLLLL.. already getting hungry here :P

PS. Barry, i do hope you have some marvels with you like last time.. can hardly wait  ;D

Not making it to the spring Spalding show.  Moving house today, relocating to Scotland with work, so not much time for drawings the last few months.

might have to be a 2 night stop over in October. 

might spend the time on a model for the collection :)

just got to print out the route.. ouch.. need to drive away atleast 30 minutes earlier.. getting up at 5 then, and jumping in the car right after  ;)

@ Barry : I am sure, you will be going home with more space in your van, and less space in your wallet  ;)

am afraid for me it will be the other way around.. , but if it are such great marvels like last time, i wont mind  ;D

@ Erik : see you there, we are also taking a scenic route friday, and will be visiting Oxford most likely on Saturday, so Kaatje has something to do on our trip too, instead of seeing only models and models and models..  ;)

All ready to set off at 0300 tomorrow, been to the bank to get English £20 notes.

TT was having a 'to infinity and beyond' moment before I explained it would take 2 days.......

I'm excited but know I will be on a budget so purchases will be few unless we are graced with the next IM 40 series or maybe some bargain price MIB Britains I'd like to recollect from my childhood.

More than anything I am looking forward to Saturday/night and catching up with FTF folk over the whole weekend. :) :) :)

I like it John but watch out robbo or BGU don't book you. At 3am it will still be dark and they could book you for having no lights.

Oh and I hope you are running on white and not red so the commissioners don't impound you ;) ;)

Anyway safe journey and hope you enjoy Spalding ;D ;D

Me too, Tris.  It is nice to meet up with friends both old and new.

I  was one of the few who got the meal quickly on Saturday night but the Gardeners Arms is under new management so fingers crossed.  As for the show I am hoping NOT to spend too much money but that may be impossible!
