Dubs in the Forest 26th - 28th Sept Hampshire

Fab weekend, great to see everyone.

FYI version 2.0 of Tallulah's sparkles - "off grid" - is now ready for testing.

We had a great time. Good to meet you all. FYI,Hangovers almost gone :-))

Is that you, Joules?

Yes, finally decided to join the forum and find out what Karen sorry Kaz gets up to

Welcome Jules , great to meet you over the weekend...

Darn, I'll have to start being nice to everyone.

Thanks Steve & Jo, good to meet you too.

Hi Kaz and midnite yodeller lovely to meet you Sunday

It was good to meet up with you too.

Finally got to Pineapple Retro in Brockenhurst today, thanks to Tallulah for the recommendation. Unusually, Mrs B didn't buy anything and the Antique shop next door wouldn't haggle so I stubbornly put everything back.

Sat in a car park in the Heath at the moment drinking tea and eating pies. You can take the lad out of Wigan, etc.

Remembered what the smack was in Wigan....a kind of potato slices in gravy

Glad you liked it (and the shop next door) shame about the haggling.

Serena can't drive past without stopping which normally means she buys something, although we traded a visit to Pineapple with a visit to the watersports shop in Lymington last week and look how that ended up!

She'd better know that the shop closes on 24th Dec because the land has been acquired for development. Still available online apparently though.

Interesting, thanks I'll pass it on. Another Tesco Express in Brockenhurst then.....

Here's a few photos ahead of my Blog:

Lots of Tallulah in this video:

Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Near miss at at 2 min 33 !!

The idiot was indicating left having presumably turned left previously and not (auto) cancelling. He was having right go until Serena politely pointed out that he was still indicating and hadn't turned.

We hope he realised and felt quite stupid having nearly caused an accident, but I doubt it.

At least I had evidence if there'd been any contact.

A couple more pics:


Sira and Dave's trolley covered some miles over the weekend!


Where's Barney gone?

Barney was probably hiding in Sira and Dave's trolley.
On that note if anyone has a picture of when he got in it on the Sat night I'd love to see it.

I'd forgotten about him getting in! I think Bozzer had a go at some point too, probably on Sunday.

Unfortunately, I don't have photos of either of them although I suspect Sira took some of Barney.

As you know we stayed on in the New Forest after DITF - the Blog will follow shortly but meanwhile I made a video of a run down the Ornamental Drive - it was our first trip to the NF and we'll deffo be back.
