hi yes,
we can stay here [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
as long as one person is there before xmas day its 14 quid a night hard standing
and EHU and are provisionally booked in i just have to confirm so need to know no's and he said i just need to check in with him re weather etc so if you're interested let me know on here and your proposed dates i again provisionally said 27-30 Dec but there is plenty of availability if you want longer or shorter stays

Yes we would like to come too, 27th to the 30th but may even arrive sooner, will let you know asap.

We would like to come to, but OH needs to see when he is off. With Christmas eve being at Saturday, he is probably finishing later that day, last minute shoppers and that. but if not, we could be there over Christmas, or arrive on the day.

That will do for me will sort exact dates asap,

Looking at Christmas day there now any one else to share a Christmas dinner do

yep me

just want to get some insulation sorted which will be really quick having seen what you are doing and i'm sorted

First thoughts are we will travel down on the 23rd could be too much traffic on Christmas eve and stay until the Thur/or Friday after, or may say sod it and take new year in

excellent nick has to work xmas eve then we off to his mams for xmas day and boxing day then think we will come the 27th or 28th

We are still deciding if we are going to have Christmas day or New years eve at home, I suppose it depends on who is doing the cooking on Christmas day this year. Will let you know nearer the time

oh christmas day camping would be perfect and lovely but its the only time we are all off together so have to go to his mams but must admit slightly jealous at the thought of it and the simplicity

Just tried putting the insulation through the sewing machine and it sews great so it will be a case of cutting the other three panels and sewing tags on each with the extra strong magnets in to stick to the batwing frame.

Think its called hemming tape then it wont have salvage edges to fray

Looks like three of us for Christmas dinner up to now Eilis Nancy and me,

First draught of the menu

Roast turkey
Roast potatoes
Parsnips and carrots done in the oven in butter
Onions half cored stuffed with butter wrapped in foil and done in the other oven
Brussels sprouts
Mashed potatoes
Peas

Pigs in blankets would be nice but we may be limited for oven space.

Open to suggestions but think we should stay traditional

hmm thought i'd replied to this but post not there

that menu sounds lovely and i now have an oven so that makes things easier

can't wait now

Dear All

I want to sign up for this in fact I believe I'm obliged to be preparing fish chips and mushy peas on one of the days. (I'll even offer 1 steak pudding if T'Owd Lad comes down.)
I'll be down on Boxing Day providing I can fight through the hangover that will result from a family Christmas Day meal.
The steak pudding has got me thinking, which of you poor deprived people have not had a steak pudding? Or possibly worse still only had it in a restaurant type of establishment where they part bake them to colour? the suet.

my granda used to take me to the cabin we have in weardale and steak suet pudding was a staple food and i hated them but he wouldnt let me leave the table til i ate it i cried through every mouthful then when i joined the navy i would have starved to death if i hadn't eaten them (babies heads they called them)
