sorry to hear about your dad,

families are often at their worst at these sad times unfortunatly, hold on in there and things have a way of working themselves out

Berni

we're all packed too,

leaving home 8.30pm meeting dotty dodge & 2 others at membury at 11pm then taking a steady drive through the night with a couple of coffee stops.

berni

i can't wait to get to beltring, jimmys all packed apart from fresh food supplies. we'll be leaving home 8pm on friday :yay:

berni

just spat my dinner out,

that is just so funny

berni

outrageous :schocked:

i think i would cry if it was my baby,

here is a get well wish jack & i must say your posts seemed rather more calmer than they could have been,

berni

hi lawson,

excellant choice of vehicle i must say, not that i'm biased of course.

nor do i know the whereabouts of the dancing girls :yay:either but i'm sure jack will enlighten you.

Berni

:rofl: :rofl:

that made i laugh

berni

hand bags :?

wrong type of lady i'm afraid, thats what pockets were invented for.

i do like the idea of dancing men though. only thing is, which uniform would they wear :-D ( or not wear as the case may be)

berni

hi there Zoe

another girl who prefers green machines to high heels & nail varnish is always a welcome addition.

Berni

hi green jacket,

welcome to the site, its good to have another MW owner on here. My other half Russ has got one ( i've got a GMC)

the more the merrier & please feel free to post little hints & tips as I'm sure we can always learn more .

Berni

we didn't get home till 11.45 last night & i am so tired.

it was real good & i enjoyed it , even in the rain.

will say more when i wake up proper but we had loads of compliments about what a fantastic time peole had had & also how rocking the band was on saturday night. they kept the beer tent overflowing till closing time.

berni

what a lovely story,

pity i haven't got any days holiday left as it would be good to sit & wait at Duxford for her to land.

history in the making,

Berni

you can also use the MVT to get a reduced rate on the ferry & then book into your own campsite,

we stay just outside bayeux in the chateau de martragney

there was loads of MV's stay there for the 60th & from all different parts of the country so it was good meeting new people & sharing a beer after a busy day.

berni

russ & myself will be there wednesday helping with the set up, popping home & then back up to stay thursday lunch time

my Jimmy reg is OFF 716, so if you see it parked up near a very tidy half track please say hi, if i am sleeping feel free to wake me up ( i can sleep loads so don't feel bad about waking me) otherwise i will be the one dancing the night away with copious amounts of alcohol in my system( hopefully).

berni

:yay: :yay:

the Ali G of jeeps

Berni

:whistle: that didn't quite appear as pure as i meant it :whistle:

i have ditched the blonde & am now a brunette degsy so i don't quailify anymore. i think Russ may have something to say on that though, mind you he might also want a bit of piece :-D

Berni

as you can probably tell we all had a few tears but also a few laughs.

i think everyone under the age of 20 needs to spend time with the over 60's.

Berni

they also collected a dingo from our treasurer ( george rilon) from bisley. the Army were also supposed to collect a saracen from outside the Soldiers of Gloucester museum & drop it off at the TA centre. between us & Severnside we are trying to get it up & running ready to bring to shows and it needs a new home in order to get her sorted.

we waited for 3 hours but sadly they got lost so will be doing the move on the way back either wednesday or thursday.

i missed out on my lie in this morning & because i have to be at East Midlands Airport for a meeting on wednesday , that will be the day they choose.

thats life though

also the photo slide show bit in the bristol evening post web site.

Berni

if you get itv/htv west there should be a piece on it tonight about our trip.

we have been in our local paper,the gloucester citizen,the bristol evening post & the western daily press,

i now know what it feels like to be famous, we had an itv presenter, a camera man, a reporter & photographer from each of the paper named above, all taking photos etc all day every day.

they were all really sweet actually & we got chatting a fair bit ( as those who know me can testify to )none of them had been over to Normandy before & were surprised at how emotinal it made them feel.

any way i will do a full report later but we will be on the news at 1.50 & also in tonights main news .

Berni

we also take a water boiler but the gas variety,

the pool also helps keep the beers cold :-D

berni

oh enigma,

you have just bought a little tear to my eye.

i to had a renault van like yours untill it died a week ago friday & had to go to the scrapyard in the sky :died:, it was like an extension of my being.

why do we get so attached to them :-(

berni

give me an hour to get a cuppa tea & have lunch as just got in from work

(mutter , mutter, if a jobs needs doing right, mutter mutter,leave it to a female, :whistle:)

Berni
