“30,000 acres where mystery, folklore, magic, myth and tradition abound”. Elves in funny clothes came across a couple say no more
Oily
Just arrived back in sunny (!!!) Macclesfield after an extended stay at the Sprog’s place in God’s Own County. I’ve been denied the use of electronic machinery, so I had to rely on my butty, Lurpak to alert me by text as to the unseemly comments made by our colonial friend (?) north of Hadrians Wall. If yon Oily is contemplating a return visit later this year, I can assure him that there will be at least one of those strangely-attired elves ready to greet him with the traditional JCB1.
Scouring ebay for suitable armour, bloody Norah tins hats are pricey, white flag and nectar flask a better option

Got me there for a minute Pete, had a google and by all accounts the natives of the forest and in particular Ruardean are now peaceful, tho’ trepidation will surely accompany me. bbc.co.uk/gloucestershire/we … bear.shtml

Visitors to the wonderful FoD would do well to heed the warnings in the above link. Apparently, the “jokes” concerning the bears are all taken light-heartedly these days Personally I wouldn’t chance it, especially for a Scotsman already pursued by “two strangely-dressed elves”, not to mention that nice Leylandlover who can still find a surprising turn of speed when aroused.

That must have been one hell of a new years party if you’ve only just recovered enough to travel . Mind you you’d have to be drunk to go back to Macc . anon

so in continued support of this thread, a couple more pics from people who share.
