Drews Parents at the moot August 10th.

[maddave]

For those of you that couldn't make Drews Funeral, his brother Steven and sister Stacey will be coming to the moot with Tony & Shells blessing to spend a weekend with us to experience Drews passion and his love of bushcraft and the people who became a big part of his life. I just got the following email from Jean, his mum saying they will be coming on August 10th for the day to meet people and see Drews tree planted. Cap'n Badger has managed to procure a nice Cypress to plant so we can dig the hole and Drews family can help with the planting. A memorial stone is also being sorted by Eric Methven as well. Here is what Jean Wrote....

Hi Dave

Just to let you know that we have booked a caravan site on above dates so that we can come to Bush moot for the day on 10 August. Steven and Stacey will make their own arrangements with you for the same dates but they are going to be a little more adventurous I think. I hope to bring an apple crumble with me as I remember Andrew saying that he always said I made the best apple crumble and Jules made the best rice pudding.

I hope you and Jules are well. We are keeping busy and friends are being good helping us to keep busy.

We are looking forward to seeing you and all Andrew's other friends on August 10th and I might need to ask you to sing the engineers song in place of Andrew - don't worry if it is rude I can handle it!!

That's great to hear that Drew's family will be joining us to see what the fuss was all about It'll be interesting to see where the special chap came from!

I'm assuming that's the engineers song involving steam and a big wheel that goes round and round???

Braver man than me!

Can't the song be sanitised a bit?? Swap a few words here and there?

But then it wouldn't be the song that Drew so loved to hear being sung.

His mum has said she's not worried if it's rude so I'd say go for it Dave and give it your best performance

I'd never heard of the Engineers Song before so I looked it up this morning. It's funny and if Drew's Mum is forewarned which it sounds like it is then go for it. It could be worse - -you could encore with the Ballad of Eskimo Nell!

Hope you enjoy doing it Dave, you'll be honouring Drew and bringing everyone a wee smile.

could be worse it could of been Barnacle Bill
