Fingers crossed

I've just been and raided M & S for a couple of comfortable but warm jumpers. I only have thin ones, as I rarely need anything warm, I put a coat on if necessary but hate wearing coats. I don't want to spend the weekend in a coat, so am now prepared if it is chilly. What you don't want to do, when camping, is get too cold, as so hard to get warm again.

I always take a hot water bottle to put in my sleeping bag

Me too, as I just posted, seconds ago, on the Facebook Group of where I am going, I need something warm to snuggle up to and Hubby will be an hours drive away.

I could do with a warm Jumper

I dont think I could manage a tent anymore, but have been looking at Glamping some amazing things!

Wonder if we ever met when I was in St James Brownies

If that was your last experience of camping Rob, I think I am probably far more up to date in my knowledge, as it was only 12 months ago that I was last in a tent.

And yes Auntie Em, I expect he does.

Did i say when my last camping experience was?
You were in St James's brownies.That's the old church down Dingle Street or was it Florence Road?
I was christened there.The vicar used to come up Good Shepherd once a week for morning prayers.

Yes, that's the one Rob - he used to live in the vicarage next to Bury Hill Park. I was good friends with his daughter.

One can only conclude, from the evidence to hand, that it was quite some time ago.

Was his name Brown? First name Reverend?

Can't remember, but his daughter I think was Marion

A bit off thread - but just looking for info on St James, Rounds Green on Oldbury History Group site and they have added a really useful timeline.
