Thamnophis UK meeting 2008

[Sputnik]

We wish you could have been there, too, Rhea!


Some of my pictures...


Hannah got her priorities right- FOOD!

It was like trying to put a parachute up in the wind and not get blown half way across the country, but once it was up, our tent was fantastic...


Best quote of the weekend: "You won't find anything here, Lulu and I already had a look this morning!"- James in the middle of a huge field with grass up to ear level.


A hopeful James waiting in vain for his kiss at the kissing gate...

We did find some wildlife. Here we have a shrew. Sadly deceased...


Also taking a rest on Hannah's hand: a tiny creature, expertly identified as a "bug" by James...


If you can't find any snakes, take a Poi-juggling lesson from Jonas...

great photos, Esther
I'll have to show Jeff the photo of the tent
I'm trying to get him interested in camping
maybe if we had luxe accommodations like that . . .
it doesn't come with hot and cold running water per chance?

[Sputnik]

Not quite, but it has masses of space. I bought it after having spent a few cramped days in a small tent at a music festival last year and despite some awkward moments putting this one up (and taking it down when the wind returned... I was getting a bit flustered and grumpy with the kids) it was great. We all sat in it in the evening, my boys even had a dance in it and attempted cartwheels.

That is a beautiful tent.

The pic of the shrew? See the dead grass? That's like what the timothy hay is in my substrate. Looks all the world like real grass. I like the effect.

More great pictures! What fun-- I haven't gone camping in years.........

And yes, Gertie,
James is kinda cute, but I'm not going to tell him that, it may just encourage him.
