Was up that way last weekend, it's Saturday 10th, Sunday the 11th. Hopefully i'll get up there on sun :)

Distinct lack of sun..... They have renamed the venue the East of England Sommeground....

People took the piss for me and martyn spending the whole weekend wearing sandals, but then their trainers got wet and they had no other footwear.... Sandals and feet dried nicely, and only needed rinsing under a tap after finishing wandering around....

so Simon Isaacs was, like...

TMI.

I'm used to it - I wear them all through the year...

Cheaper washing feet than polishing shoes...

We went. Had a walk round on the Saturday in between the rain and got quite a few of the bits that we'd got on the list. Saw the purple 101 on the way round with the intention of calling back later, but instead I managed to twist my knee, pop the cartilage out and ended up in the caravan for the rest of the weekend.

Kids quite enjoyed themselves though and decided that sandals or no shoes at all were best, jumped in puddles and threw large amounts of grass clippings at each other, which got absolutely everywhere.

do you wear socks?

I have fewer socks than shoes...

Anyway, are you calling me a minger or what???

Pity they didn't piss on your toes then.....

Alex

Don't get much snow in your part of the world then or decent frosts come to that?

Socks and sandals, oh no, it'll be the Harris Tweed jacket with leather elbow patches next, a long with baggy kahki shorts.

As for polishing shoes who does that? If the conditions warrant warm and/or waterproof footwear it's wellies or walking boots. Only the walking boots get any attention in the form of the application of dubbin once a year or so.

I don't have any socks. I wear Bruce's and I've got loads of shoes.

No. I just wondered if you did or not.

so Nikki was, like...

If he admits to that, I'll never speak to him again!

You forgot the pipe and half-moon glasses.

Bruce says that sounds sensible. He's got quite alot of boots and shoes actually and last count he had more than me.

On or around Mon, 12 Sep 2005 14:25:13 +0100, Mother enlightened us thusly:

me too, except when working on stuff which is mucky or wet, when I use boots.

I do wear big solid boots for field archery, but that's got elements of hill walking and stuff plus the need to stand still on silly slopes, and as such the extra support comes in handy. It's often muddy, too.

On or around Mon, 12 Sep 2005 13:33:53 GMT, Nikki enlightened us thusly:

I mostly wear socks with sandals, but not in very hot weather.

Jesus!

Is the Tea cosey to take the attention from the feet ;0)
