Met at Thrapston Services Friday evening for our convoy down to Kent....
Weather was pretty awful all the way down...
...and the traffic was really busy too...
Stopped at Stansted Services for a Burger King break...
Set off again, and over the Dartford Bridge...
As soon as we hit Kent, the roads were dry, and we arrived at Peppercorn, and were able to set up in the dry.
After camp was sorted, we cracked open the beers/brandy/vodka etc, and chilled out at camp.
5 minutes before the entertainmant was due to finish, we decided to go and see what was going on...
Although the band had finished, Stred kept us amused...
Eventually, we headed back to camp, to initiate Steve in 'the way of the Yahtzee'...
*Check out the concentration and look of determination on Manda's face!!*
We had some rain overnight, but when Saturday dawned, it was beautiful blue skies. So we made our KUDC camp official, by raising the flag...
Had a little scoot round the show...looking at the trade stalls, and a few display cars...
Back at camp...and Lil'Joe turns up for a game of Taboo...Conna and Chris (Conna's son) then joined us too...
After the game...it was time for pre dinner drinks...
After dinner...we changed into our 'evening wear'....
And began the drinking...
Hazel had started to get a little slurry....and then slightly annoyed with something Steve had said (although we none of us know what it was!!).
There was then the threat of a slap...and then the slap itself...and here is Steve post slap...
And his..."What did I say?" look...
Pip was loving the olives plucked out of the vodka martini's!!!!
Even Lil'Joe got dressed up!!!
We then decided to delight everyone with our pogo expertise...
Unfortunately, the vodka seemed to take hold of Hazel very quickly...
So Mark was called to escort her back to Camp Madmatz...
Some silliness with the megaphone then ensued....
OK - that's it for tonight....will post the rest tomorrow....(Yes there really are more!!!!!!!!!!!!)
