Well, its over .....

[merlinsquest]

My holiday for this year is well and truly over

Piebaldsparkle and I had a lovely week staying with Ravenwood in lovely Exmoor.

Those of you that have seen our daily updates will know what we have been doing and RWs various attempts to get rid of us!!!

So all that remains is to say a big thank you to Ravenwood and her lovely family for having us impose for the week

Ravenwood and Trixie123 on the moors

The real Trixie telling us that cheese stinks!!

Merlin admiring the view, thankfully to dim to realise that he is about to carry me for the whole horizon!!

Piebaldsparkle..... looking remarkably mud free

A big thanks for your hospitality

 

[moneypit1]

So glad you had a fab time! xxxx

 

[merlinsquest]

Thanks Moneypit

I would recommend the Exmoor Experience to anyone....... anyone with a deathwish that is

Nicer people I have yet to meet!!!

 

[moneypit1]

Well you are welcome to come to us next year! Mind you with the weather we are having at the moment I would seriously think about it! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[merlinsquest]

I am going to avoid anywhere where the annual rainfall exceeds...... Cherrapunji, India ........ So I guess that counts you both out???

 

[moneypit1]

definately! xx

 

[Ravenwood]

It was a pleasure to have you both (no, really!!!)

LOL - Lotti looks like a donkey in that first picture!!!

Guess What? - Metcheck tells me it will be dry next week

 

[merlinsquest]

He he he..... I will make sure it isnt sunny...... i will do a rain dance

Lottery doesnt look like a donkey..........................

But it was the only pic you both that I had

 

[Moggy in Manolos]

Great pics, i love the caption where you say merlin is too dim to realise what he is about to embark on, very good, looks like you had a fab time

 

[Mudsplasher]

Welcome back MQ , glad you had a good time

.... just don't let me near those waterproof trousers !!!

 

[merlinsquest]

Thanks....

Mudsplasher, I will be wearing those trousers next time we meet!!!!! I promise

 

[WeeBrown]

After reading what fun you lot have had I think we ought to do horsey meet ups and HHO holidays...those poor people at the coast and moorlands would get a lot of people though

If anyone wants to come and see picturesque Barnsley let me know

ETA: Really enjoyed your gang's posts and glad you had a nice time.

 

[merlinsquest]

Nice....???? We had a terrible time..... you must have read the posts as if we were joking about the terrible attempts on our lives.......... If only you could feel our pain

Does it rain in Barnsley............ Yes??? Oh

maybe not then !!!!

 

[WhiteHorseWendy]

Got room over here for anyone who wants to come and play in the Lincolnshire Wolds or down the beach!

 

[Ravenwood]

All my life I have wanted to ride on the beach but never realised it

Lincolnshire is an awfully long way from Exmoor though

(PS: Don't invite MQ or PBS - they are extremely demanding!

)

 

[merlinsquest]

Yes, yes, yes..... invite me... me.... me.....

Demanding????? Moi??????

Surely not

I too want to ride on the beach..... but didnt fancy the Tsunami that RW would have laid on for us.... if her understatements were anything to go by....

 

[WhiteHorseWendy]

lol Raven, the offer is open to all, I have to say, I do feel a little bit too lucky sometimes to have the best of both worlds up here, the coast and the beautiful countryside.

 

[Ravenwood]

Shouldn't that read "understatements"? !!!

Don't forget I did have a filling without any aneasthetic (sp? - I have had a few glasses of wine!!)

 

[Ravenwood]

Thank you - but no need to rub it in!!!!

Next you will be telling me that you haven't had rain consistently for the last 4 weeks!

 

[merlinsquest]

Oh yes..... sorry have changed the post

Just proves that I only have my brain on time share...... merlin is using it at the moment

Must admit that after we compared our dental phobias..... I was truly impressed that you had that done..... I would have needed Ketamine to do that

 

[Ravenwood]

Well, like I said before - there is no point giving me a jab as it doesn't work anyway! - I am a tough old bird!!!

 

[WhiteHorseWendy]

Oh no, we do have rain, but it only comes at night :-D

 

[Ravenwood]

Oh get away with you!!!

I am not speaking to you anymore

 

[merlinsquest]

Mr RW did mention that.... when you were not listening

 

[Ravenwood]

LOL - come on then - spill the beans - what else did he say?

Totally bloody potty?

 

[piebaldsparkle]

Sorry missed this posts as busy catching up on Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz and trying to dry out!!!!!.......................MQ slept all the way home!!!!

I'd just like to add my thanks to RW and her family for a fantastic holiday. I will be posting post as soon as I get a chance (bewarned).
