Lambeth Country Show 16-17 July 2011

[5t3IIa]

Me and froggy should be there around 3ish

Oh, there you are. It's raining!

 

[leanderman]

Cloud is lifting. Lightening up.

 

[5t3IIa]

I don't own any wellies. What is this shit?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Cloud is lifting. Lightening up.

yes, quite clear looking over London now. Not sure how long it'll last

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I don't own any wellies. What is this shit?

Wellies are for wimps

 

[Badgers]

Do I see the sun through yonder window?

 

[5t3IIa]

The torrential precipitation is easing off in the east end, which is relevant to me.

But, I mean to say; how is one supposed to lie about swigging rat-catcher in the aftermath of this weather?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Do I see the sun through yonder window?

No sun through my windows. Have you had too much Chucklehead?

 

[gaijingirl]

I think we'll be late.... think it's stopped raining now.

 

[editor]

It's almost balmy now!

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

It's almost balmy now!

I see a massive rain cloud over central London heading in your direction






































just joking























for now

 

[London_Calling]

Having been out and about on the bloody bike this morning, I'm reminded it's just warm summer rain and soggy park - stay calm and get mashed.

 

[colacubes]

Report from the front:

It is not raining

Queue for chucklehead is minimal

That is all

 

[gaijingirl]

Right... wellies are on, leaving now.. be there in 5-10 mins!!

 

[quimcunx]

The sun's out. Come out come out.

 

[alcopop]

No was paperwork related

 

[Greebo]

You lightweights - I was down there from 12, waiting for it to stop raining so I could get my camera out. FWIW one of the Chucklehead stalls is bigger than the other (the larger on has a fundraising for son of chucklehead on the front of it), and the main arena was IMHO more difficult to find than usual.

Anyone with long hair (even tied back) may prefer to avoid the 2 hair accesssory stalls in the craft tent - IMHO the stallholders were a bit pounce-happy.

In other news, the veg animals were good, including a royal wedding coach with the couple in it, a trio of dogs, and a caterpillar.

 

[TruXta]

Not going today, might make it tomorrow.

 

[wtfftw]

Not going today, might make it tomorrow.

same.


but also. I've not been for about a decade. I might just wait til there's better weather.

 

[Greebo]

I might just wait til there's better weather.

This year, next year, sometime, never, then. FWIW last year's one was hotter and drier.

 

[wtfftw]

I want to sit on the grass.

I might budget better next year as well. See how I feel tomorrow innit.

 

[marty21]

I just heard that the craft club got a silver medal in the Jam competition - well done to the craft club.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Well I didn't see a single person I know, except RubyTooGood and I didn't say anything to her

I'm wondering if I mistook the caterpillar for a crocodile?

 

[quimcunx]

I saw a Madagascar cockroach by mistake.

 

[Greebo]

There was a crocodile at one end but if I remember right, there was a caterpillar made of radishes roughly in the middle.

I'm going to pop down tomorrow, I think
Text me if you go, yeah?

I don't even have long hair and they pounced... I almost told them to f-off... I think they might be a bit less pouncey tomorrow!

I just heard that the craft club got a silver medal in the Jam competition - well done to the craft club.

We did *proud*

I had that jam on toast this morning I did

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

ah right, couldn't be arsed waiting around for people to move so I could see what was there. There were more important things to investigate in the next tent

 

[Greebo]

So - did you get any more plants?
