It starts for me when I see signs for Hook Norton, Great Tew, drive through Bloxham (silent hello to Ric S), then the first glimpse across the fields from the A423 Southam Road. I know I've arrived as I head for Nick's Bridge to the accompaniment of Myal Piper.

Camping stuff got out of the attic yesterday, snacks and drinks bought on Saturday. Tickets recovered from desk drawer this morning. It's beginning to look a lot like C...ropredy!

We usually stop at a farm shop for a quick bite, can’t remember where, also spotting other Cropredy goers.
Sad we can’t be there this year, but it is nice to live it vicariously through your posts, folks!

Just dug out the tickets, no pink slips in the envelopes though.
Passing Sports Direct yesterday I picked up a spare pair of Karrimor Mount Mid 9 Weatherproof boots, on at half price (£44.95), to go with the ones I bought 2 years ago. They're really very good at coping with wet ground whilst allowing my feet to breathe and not get too smelly. Also, Size 13 is a difficult size to get, but SD seem to stock them as standard.

Yes a “comfort break” & a top-up coffee to keep me awake, as we’ll have been on the road since 3:30!! |

Sitting on the Dublin to Holyhead ferry, exhausted after a long drive down and that after a full day spent packing with the dubious help of a tireless 6-month-old puppy.
Stretching my break by taking in the warm up and Trad Arr, courtesy of Field 8 and their extended opening. Yes. Its happening now ...

Hope everyone’s okay, just hearing about a couple of road closures due to an accident in Banbury area.

We’re happily ensconced in the glamping field. Full of tagine and gin, so unlikely to move for the rest of the day. This is just perfect.
