Any photos for those of us unable to make it?

There might be video from a drone and pics, with any luck and yes my ugly mug may be included.

Some photos from the weekend, video to follow.

Lovely to see those that turned up, those that didn't were missed - and wished those that stayed briefly had stayed longer.

The rumours of my demise have been greatly exaggerated!

Appears that I had Kidney stones and passed several over the weekend! Really missed not staying for the weekend. Also my mate Mahtab loved it and loved the vibes, had to promise to bring him next year!
Anyway thanks to Chug and Lynda for having us reprobates again! Looking forward to next year!

P.s bring back the compost loos, they are cooler and smell less!

I passed a few cyclists and slower vehicles but didn't pass any kidney stones, to be honest I didn't see It to pass.

Glad to hear it was nothing serious (although I know from experience how painful kidney stones are), you were very pale.

I spoke with Lynda about how easy it would be to produce a compost portaloo, so your wish may come true.

I had a message from Ed this morning,  sadly Richard passed away last night after several weeks in hospital, our commiserations go out to Ed and Richard's family. He will be missed and the BBB won't seem the same without him.

 Very sad news indeed.
He was a real character with many great life stories.
A true gent that will be missed.
We’ll have to give him a single cannon salute next year.
No bbb meal will be cooked without thinking of Richard.
RIP my friend.

i'm really sorry to hear this, he was a character indeed. Used to tell me about his 5 greenhouses!

No more freeze distilled blackberry jack.

RIP Richard.

Richard was a relly nice bloke. I had a lot of respect for his knowledge. TV's or bio. RIP Rich.
