Vinstock ............the list

[TonyF]

G4, get you're bum over here, you know you want to and you jave loads of offers of help and even accomodation!!!

Nicos, clear your message box, I can't send a reply to your pm, your boxes are full. Will hold off for the time being, 1 x cherry and 3 x goosegogs if you have enough please.

[Glutton4...]

Aaaawwwww - you lot are fab.

As well as all the 'usual' arrangements, animal/bird-wise. Mr.G is currently rebuilding his Landy's engine, as the head gasket blew a couple of weeks ago, and he's been getting lifts to and from work, and working on the motor in the evenings. I don't want him to rush it, just so we can go away. I want him to be finished and happy with it, as it's his Birthday on Saturday, and it would be nice to actually spend some time with him, instead of just providing tea and sympathy!

but if you go away you can spend some time with him .............

but if you go away you can spend some time with him .............

[binley100]

Anyone want any books ? Got loads of thriller types here I can chuck some in .........

[Nicos]

Books bins????...oooo...yes PLEASE!!!!!..anything and everything please...If I don't like them OH/friends will!!! ( also other Vinstock grapes may well be VV interested... ( they're like gold dust here gal!!!!)

OK- so I've made a decision!!!!!!
...............
I'll bring brioche and jam for everyone for the first morning.
Boble says he loves the stuff too- so I'll clearly have to buy double the normal amounts!!!!!

Still not heard from Hills re the seafood- maybe we should buy it Sat am at the market????

[scarey55]

Ooh, I lurve brioche I was going to make some lemon curd and I already have marmalade so I could add to the to the slap up "continental" brekkie.

Do you want me to talk to Hilary? I have her mobile number - or.. I could pass it on to you. I was thinking of messaging her just to say everything is on track for the Weekend but, if anyone has any questions for her, she said it would be OK to pass her number on.

[binley100]

I have jams ........seedless blackberry, goosgog and elderflower and have just made some plum and kirsch(meant to be cherry brandy but didn't have any).....Also have some chutney and apple butter ....

[scarey55]

* starves myself for the rest of the week

[mrbadexample]

I want to come too.

But I can't, so I wish you all bon(ne) voyage / appetit / matin / journee / soiree*

Maybe next year...

*Delete as applicable.

[Patchninja]

Well, I'll bring the savoury cakes to have with drinks. I have tons of books so can bring some for re-cycling. How big is your car, Nicos? hahaha

[bobleponge]

And I'll bring the drinks to have with the the savoury cake. Any non-fiction books muchos appreciated by me, absolutely (almost) any genre of non-fiction is for winners.

Dont think I didnt notice you're sly dig up there either Nicos!! (sadly its justified though)

Hmm now in a panic trying to think of a Saturday market near me. Not sure there is, so if you're buying crustacea then will have to be SuperU in La Guerche or a big Hyper U in Chateaubriant. Mme P will know if there's a proper fishmonger (I think there is but I'm stuffed if I can remember where).

My back to back has left France so barring volcanic ash doing anything dangerous to either his or my plane, I should be home late Thursday night as planned. Woop woop.

[taff]

I am gutted. Van repairs were expensive, and used up my voyaging funds. Barring a miracle I'm not coming...*


*insert as many of the worst swear words you can imagine.

[Glutton4...]

We can sit in a jealous sulk together then, Taff!

[binley100]

OMG.......VDay is nearly here......I am surrounded by tent stuff, books, jam, pickles and other essentials ....
