Now that the rain has cleared away, I have secured a huge field for our jamboree ( courtesy of Farmer Giles as usual.) Bring camping gear, food, drink, and useful or decorative items.
No wives/ husbands/ partners/ toy boys allowed but you can bring a well behaved dog or cat ?
As always, in alphabetical order, and bring lots of things to do as we could be here for a long time.This is also a chatty time really, so say anything you like ( within reason?)

I will start things off with...
Apple pie ( from M&S) as I have a bit of a thing about it at the moment, which is why I shall be mainly wearing elasticated skirts and chinos for this shindig.

Upmarket stall selling salmon blinis topped with caviar, oysters and champagne. Also pie and chips. Upmarket because it is the opposite end of the main field to the portaloos

Vast amounts of loo roll in case of shortages.
Very soft of course.

Wellies - bound to be muddy.
Hunters (or maybe Boden)

Elasticated waist trousers for when we’ve stuffed ourselves with all the lovely food and drink.

I love a slice of orange and lemon cake accompanied by a small container of cream and fresh fruit made at the Criterion restaurant in St. Andrews I’m off for some tomorrow, weather permitting. I’ll bring it along to the jamboree. Hope the weather holds out ????
