The virtual campfire is here

[jeffie]

crumpets are great for innuendo. Hot, dripping and tasty. I particularly like the way my fingers are warm and sticky afterwards . See what i mean?

Especially licking the juices off afterwards.....

naturally!

Also, even when you've had two already, you think you just might be able to manage another!

[jeffie]

And the bottom tends to be where the juices seep out... Oooer.....

[jeffie]

Anyway, stoke the fire up someone, I've brought some more wood over.

As the sun goes down it's bound to get chillier. Can't be 24 degrees C all the time.

Jeffie's got wood!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Anyway, it's been a long day so I'm turning in. Not sure I'll get to check in much tomorrow, so best of luck to anyone trying for coach tickets!

Night all!

[frostypaw]

I'll make the tea!

(shameless excuse to show off my camping kettle again)

Just look at it though.... *swoon*

all I want to do is put a little water in, collapse it, plug up the spout and get it on that stove

Taking bets for when the stopper blows out now

Taking bets for when the stopper blows out now

It depends on the stopper and how well it's secured. If a thorough job was done it might be the base of the kettle that melts first. However, if we can agree that this situation would null and void all bets then we've gone some way to making a gentleman's agreement. The next thing I'd need to know is, is it a nearest time wins something bet or if nobody guesses the exact right time do you get to keep all the loot? There's a virtual 50p riding on how you answer this. It's yours for the taking.

[frostypaw]

oh it's a festival, not a bookies - nearest time for sure

maybe someone else can run sweeps on who screams if it goes bang lol

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

In that case I'll have a virtual 50p on the stopper blowing at the 3 mins 30 second mark. Thanks.

I nod off for a moment and what do I miss? Wood, sticky fingers, dripping bottoms and all sorts!! Someone wake me up next time

KETTLE UPDATE

It has arrived....

It does not melt, leak, or otherwise expel water (NFR NFC!) and holds a little over 1 litre which I calculate is 5 good mugs of tea. Very pleased with it!

[lucyginger]

That does look good Helen!!!

[mr gumby]

Wahay!!

Well, if there's one thing i like more than hot crumpet by the fire of an evening, it's a cheeky little ginger nut in my tent first thing!

I'm fairly certain that it will observe the laws of physics and would indeed melt or blow it's stopper if the stopper was securely fixed.

that silicone just won't melt, it burns first in air. straaaaaaaange stuff

I so want one of those kettles now. The bulkiness of mine is a great dissatisfaction every time I pack it, but can't face life without proper tea so a kettle is a must

Ridiculed by many, asked for tea in the morning by all.

[mr gumby]

Hang on! With all the fuss about coach ticket resale, the campfire's dropped onto page 2. Can't be having that!

Celebrating bagging a coach ticket so going to throw a couple of jacket potatoes on the camp fire. I'll sit here with a tin or two as the sun goes down to celebrate while they cook...... Couple of hrs then they should be nice and fluffy

[Mr Splodge]

Quick chuck a log on.

[Yesiamaduck]

[Yesiamaduck]

*stares at a burning stick*

congratulations! the more the merrier will be a wonderful few days with some very happy people joining the party

I've conceded defeat and won't be trying for my mate Henry - a sad case of someone who know would fall in love with the place for a lifetime, but who you just can't convince to go. I may go down the "text my friend and tell him what he's missing" sign route this year!

a la...

awesome move

[jimmyt]

I'd forgotten how nice it was around here. Anyone got a spare can they can let me have? I'm in need of a drink after the trek over here.
