September SunshineFor
our final camp of 2014, the WMFCC met at Gundry’s Farm, Three Legged Cross,
from the 19th to 21st September. We were a friendly
mixture of 12 caravans, tents and campervans and enjoyed a very sociable
weekend together with warm, dry weather.
By 8pm on the Friday evening, everyone had arrived and we congregated in Mary and Alan’s spacious awning. Coffee and cake was served to celebrate the birthday of our ‘twins’, Christine and Alan, who were both born on 19th September in the same year! The Saturday was spent in different ways, exploring the area and catching up with friends. Moors Valley was a short walk away which was a popular destination. It was also Margaret’s birthday and she was surprised by family arriving to celebrate with her. They joined us in the evening for fish and chips and a few very competitive games of Mexican Trains! This took place in the small hall at the URC Church opposite, which used to be the stables to house the Minister’s horse while he preached! Fitting 34 of us into this very small space was a challenge but contributed to the fun! On Sunday morning we went to Holtwood Methodist Chapel (complete with scenic tour of the countryside for those who followed Sue!!). The congregation made us feel really welcome and are keen for us to use their field and new facilities another time. Some campers then enjoyed a good Sunday lunch together before we all reluctantly packed up to leave the camp later that afternoon. If you ever fancy joining us just drop us a line and someone will get back to you :-) Sue Saunders. |
