The Gang's all here

....well some at least.

Yesterday @ Slimbridge


Carol (Mrs Kidder); John (Stoupaduck); Chris (Mrs Duck); Jim (Kidder) and Susie

What a bunch of reprobates!

..takes one to know one!

....And a great time was had by all. Despite the weather.

(You should have seen SD's picnic!!)

What do you have to do to join this gang then?

Be there!

This happened as a result of Chris and I going to the London Wetlands Centre and me saying we'd probably go again in the summer. Jim then said, if we went let him know.

Chris and I then changed our minds, deciding to go to Slimbridge but we didn't want to commit to any dates until the last minute, so with less than a week to go we finally decided on a date and Jim said he'd be there.

Jim then mentioned it to Susie in the chatroom and as she was only 20 mins or so away from Slimbridge, it suddenly became a mini-meet.

There's a possibility we may do something similar next year at the London Wetlands Centre in the spring, late April/early May?

Anyone interested?

The week gave John time to make his gourmet picnic!!

Anyone interested?

Well, you can sign me up again John. I thoroughly enjoyed myself watching you eat!

Come on then, don't keep it a secret, what was in John's picnic?

Packet o' crisps 'n a pickled egg!

All I can say Chris is it would grace a picnic on the lawns at Glyndebourne!!!

Oh, I see.....!!

Arghhhh! Missed it!
If we hadn't been on holiday I think we might have joined you all at Slimbridge, assuming that we'd have been invited of course!

So, whereabouts is the London Wetlands Centre? April sounds good.

Hi Joy

It's in Barnes, Website here

Yummy, John, bit what's wrong with the good old sandwich??

I used to live in Barnes. We would definitely be up for it, but it would have to be a weekend, as we're both still wage slaves (actually, I'm currently looking for a job again........).

Our contribution to the picnic would, I'm afraid to say, be much more along the lines of the good old sandwich - not even that sure about the 'good'!

I only has a plain old slice d egg and salad sarnie, and I bought mine from Sainsburies on the way LOL
