A Kentish Tea Party

[David Humphries]

Really well put together, intimate wee get together.

 

Nice one J.

 

 

To kick off, the warm up, a little banter, then the M1 boys turned up with a touch of Scottish tinitus, and brought the wet stuff with them...............

A look around at some bits and pieces..........

 

 

 

Lurve the Iveco

Particularly liked the way Aborecology set up camp next to a nice old Oak with a fine Ganoderma resinaceum.

Stylish.

 

Not so sure I would of been so happy setting up me camp where Rich did, directly under an Ash with Inonotus hispidus hosted upon it.

 

Found a new species for me later on, belive it to be called Fistulina shuttlerii

 

Here on a grouted dead Sweet chestnut trunk.

A little excursion......

 

 

Curtesy of Les (Buster dreadknock), a trip to see a mightily impressive Sweet Chestnut at PORC.

We measured the seven coppice poles at 15.5 meters.

Like the way they have recreated it and started off a new one close by.

 

 

We met Mike the landowner, who was a first class nutty eccentric.

Top bloke.

He's been building this (not sure what it actually is), for more time than he cares to remmember.

Remarkable building.

Love that Iveco, Steve's hair seems to have gotten shorter, Andy has his 'hat' on that's never off and Dean has perfected the ex-squaddie thug look...

 

All is well then lol

[Mr Ed]

Want one of those Iveco's. Suppose I'll have to wait a few years until some utilty is disposing of 3 year old models.

[David Humphries]

In to the night, for the ones who stayed, a good time was had.

 

Was suprised that when dusk hit, the M1 boys all became a bit Girly and got in a cab and hightailed it to their snug wee hotel rooms.

Guess they believe the myth that we Suverners turn in to flesh eating Zombies at night.........

The morning after......................

 

Mick on tea duty, John on crusty mug duty, Andy on cleaning up & fumigation duty, and Stevie considering a career change.

 

 

Jen/Dave, have you got a copy of the Seven Sisters group shot?

 

 

Again, Nice one Mr Jones, great venue, look forward to next years.
