Got back late yesterday afternoon from a very pleasant weekend staying at Rough Close
It was a small group of us, only 3 or 4 each night so it made for a nice relaxing time
Anyway here's the pictures
My home for the weekend
Our communal area
On the Saturday morning we went to RTI Military Surplus as John and I had never been and it seemed silly not to as it was only 40 minutes drive from RC
When we got there we found this lovely beast outside
Which was joined by this, both of which were great vehicles
Inside Mr F tried some of the stock out. We all came away with some nice bargains so it's likely we'll be back there again sometime soon
I snapped this on the Saturday evening... I can see a phoenix arising in the flames
On the Sunday Mr F decided he wanted to make some char cloth
Smoking nicely
The the gases caught and started to burn off...
After John had finished playing I made Welsh Cake over the fire for everyone
They were as tasty as they looked
After we'd finished stuffing ourselves on the Welsh cakes we went for a little bimble where I came across this specimen.
Is it Oyster mushrooms?
And these LBJ's were on a stump
On the last night I snapped this fire rabbit
On the Monday Mr F kindly took me along to the Outdoor Trade Show. I had a great time seeing loads of various gadgets and chatting to folks. I did manage to grab this picture of John trying out a hammock. It was a real struggle to get him out of it
And that concludes my weekend. A big thank you to Phil for the invite to join them, I thoroughly enjoyed myself
