Back at the hotel after a very long day. Had a fabulous time.
I just wanted to thank Bob for all his help today, he was at the venue before us and
helped us carry stock in and out plus also kept the kitchen tidy all day and was making
refreshments for all as well and tidied the kitchen at the end. It helped us no end.................
so Thank You, much appreciated.

More details and pictures to follow, driving to Birmingham tomorrow for the day on Thursday.

Thelma and I had a little jam Monday night. Trying out a lorry that then went into a tractor.

The front of lorry looked like a dog/crocodile head to me.
I was going for the American look front to the lorry.

The front of the cab we tried as a tractor,
the last picture is all blurry as this was the last picture taken before my camera broke.

I had no camera but two care & share days to host, I was devastated and needed therapy  :(

I used Thelma's phone to take the pictures and we think they are now transferred to a DVD.
Off to look and double check I can get the rest onto my computer to post.

These pictures where taken on Thelma's phone, trying to take them from a DVD that Thelma
transferred them over too.

As soon as we passed that blue flag with the white cross, then this happened, it rained.

The cake was on our arrival at the B & B.

The princess and myself, we were testing what device would give us the best
picture, my camera, Thelma's phone or her Ipad. We went with Thelma's phone.

This was because my camera went kerput, going to send it off to be repaired.
