    A&E - we are ready! Are you?

    in Armour & Embarkation Dorset 23rd and 24th June 2012

    Posted

    Hi All

    Fil and I are really looking forward to the weekend and seeing everyone again. Our boat doesn't actually get into Poole until 00.45 on Friday so we we be at the camp after 1 am and will need to set up tents!!!! So apologies now if we wake anyone but we will try our best not too!!!! On the other hand if there is still partying going on expect gate crashers!!!!! I will ask Nigel to save us a bit of space next to him to make it easier. It was either this late boat or not at all and failure to attend was not an option!!!!!!

    Regards

    Daren

     

    You guys riding with us in our truck again this year? I have counted you in with us (we have a few others joining us this year as well)

    A&E - we are ready! Are you?

    So – we are ready.

    Not too sure where the last two years have gone but certainly the last 6 months have been a blur.

     

    ...

     

     

     

    First and foremost Jack, this wouldn't have been possible had it not been down to YOU and ALL YOUR GOD DAMN HARD WORK. I don't know half the stress you have had to go through to get this up and running again but can only imagine it. Yes of course it wouldn't work without us all taking part, either as a driver, re-enactor or passenger but you have been the driving force behind it all, getting everyone together and sorting out the routes and the roads and the officials necassary. So hold up your right hand, turn your palm towards yourself, reach down your back and slap it hard, cos you derserve it JB. Big respect to you. Love you! xxxxxxx

    Next thing, am I ready? OMG YES!!! Have been for about 2 years!!!!!! So many sights and sounds from 2010 still make me laugh and smile and bring a lump to my throat to.

     

    As for those who seem to want to put a dampner on things? They have successful show envy Jack, ignore them, I do!!! :D

     

    Weather, who cares? We will be having too much fun to worry about the weather!!!!!!

     

    uni tonight, meeting at eldest school tomorrow night, the cubed off to another meeting on Wednesday night, work during the day, when shall I pack???????? :wow:

     

    Cant wait to get down there Friday evening, have a glass of charddy waiting for me hun!

     

    See you all Friday

    Well the weather locally for this weekend was appalling, so far we have had dawn to dusk sunshine with some gusty winds but not too cold (chilly for the time of year though) so fingers crossed it carries on this way. but so what if it rains, the tankers will have more fun!!! The drivers of the man trucks will enjoy trying to accelerate and wipe their windows and Jack will still be blowing his whistle!!!!!! We will still all have great big smiles on our faces :cheesy:

    Happy Fathers Day

    well the cubed one rang to say he was leaving work at 4pm (an hour and half away in TomTom time) by 5pm he was about 10 miles away, but on the wrong side of the flood from home. He eventually arrived at cubed towers at 6.30 after driving through knee deep water that had poured through peoples homes :embarrassed:

    Well what fun it's been down here today (nothing like Wales I know) A27 been flooded all day and is still closed

    Only just stopped raining here about an hour ago, it's now high tide (luckily they're not too high at the moment 4.23m)

    We are still on an amber warning for flooding. Hope everyone else is safe, do we have any members in Aberystwyth??
