Each time I check the forecast, it gets worse and worse. !!

Common everyone - positive vibes, positive vibes !

Me too. Wet, wetter, windy, windier. Not looking good. Oh sorry, positive vibes. Sun, sunnier, warm, warmer.

All attendees at the above please note - if I don't get enough people signing up to the quiz it may not go ahead - it's a bit of fun and for charity. DON'T BE SHY - sign up now !!

See the link above and the message on the general discussion page.

Looking forward to meeting you all.

How many people are bringing their children - and if you are what ages? I am bringing my nearly 5 year old and am hoping he will have someone to play with - otherwise I will be bringing colouring / reading books etc for his entertainment.

Oli will be with us, age 6 1/2

We are bringing mickey 8 and Briony 13

Charlotte age 11

I'm bringing Max - aged 9

As much as Max is "down with the kids", I don't think he counts as one of them.

It ain't necessarily so... (link)
Shame, not available on mobile. Sad

I tried to amend my YouTube settings to allow it to be shown on mobiles but without success. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Another casualty I'm afraid .... Tiggy23 no longer able to join us.

No Christmas card for you this year then

My son won't be coming now, he has been seduced by his grandparents who want to take him away for the weekend swimming, playing golf and tennis. I'm afraid they won over being in a field of vans with his Dad, still 'herself' says I'm childish!!

If we can squeeze our big picnic table in, maybe we can arrange a Komunal Kolouring area.

I gather there will be plenty of teachers on hand if needed!

My girls will be with me - Lottie, 8 1/2, and Isabel 6.

I'm just negotiating whether I have to do the school fete before leaving, means I will miss out on the afternoons events and won't be with you til 5ish on the Sat. Hopefully, I will win and get to you all at lunchtime Great to know there will be playmates for girls

Looking forward to it! 2 sleeps to go....

It might be a watercolouring class tomorrow ....

Why do people always assume if you're a teacher you'll always be on hand to entertain other people's kids?

Just done my grocery shop for the w/e. Roast chicken in the Cobb BBQ for Friday night.

Rowan - 4 & Erin - 8

Nothing to do with any assumptions, just reference to the fact that a high proportion of BraziBay owners are teachers - my wife included - so non-teacher parents might feel more comfortable knowing there are people around who HAVE been properly training 'if needed'.

Sorry, hope I didn't offend. Was meant to be a bit of a light hearted comment.

I'm not too keen on Teacher's - prefer a Single Malt

Sad fact of the matter is, I'll be bringing some work with me this w/e. Need to sort out some YR1 and Reception planning. Still, something to do while it's raining.

Whisky Club meet at Walmsleys after dark?

As the co-owner of an SME business I ALWAYS bring work with me, although often it's just in my head...

As Alison works in the business and is a share holder, she'd expect nothing less!

I've switched to Vodka this weekend:

Or in the words of 'Oddball' in Kelly's Heroes, "why don't you knock it off with them negative waves Moriarty, why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here, why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change, have a little faith baby, have a little faith"

Bringing our boy - age 2.5

It will be probably more fun for him than for us... ( I meant bringing him with us, not attending Kombi Sleepover...).

He loves Rud and since yesterday he keeps on singing " We're going for a weekend, we're going in a camper"....
