Devon meet

[Fanshawe]

I know that Jaydevon has very kindly invited us all round for a bbq in the summer but I thought that it might be nice to meet up before (then I know how safe I am if I drink at Jay's do and not be hated forever! :D)

I was thinking Okehampton as it's easy for lots of people to get to. Not sure when. Anybody got any preferences? Alternatively you are all very welcome to come to mine down on the south coast and meet the gang but you may be strong armed in to helping me sort the fencing! Lol.

[jaydevon]

well im there, to be honest im a bit of a nutter, so you dont need to worry, i shall pm you with some of the things we get up to!

[Fanshawe]

Thanks jaydevon nice to know I won't be the only one embarassing myself! :D
Anyone else or just these two nutters?

[Nellsmum]

Count me in!!!!.....you'll all be safe.....I dont drink!!:D

[Fanshawe]

Brilliant. Any preferences as to when? Also no idea as to any decent pubs up at Oke. Don't want a complete dive!

[clairey259]

I'm in!!!

[jaydevon]

Thanks jaydevon nice to know I won't be the only one embarassing myself! :D
Anyone else or just these two nutters?

errrrmm i try not to embarras myself! apparentley im a very funny drunk! i can see a wrestling match coming up with snapper... have the pictures snapper on her back...............ahhhh if only

[lemon03]

i will come. :)

[Fanshawe]

Yay! Another one! :) Will be great to meet you lemon03. Any preferences as to day/time?

[lemon03]

weekends would be best for me,day times. hubby works funny hours weekdays. but not weekends he can babysit then:D

[lemon03]

maybe near you then as most are your end..?:)

[chickyd444]

im in somerset but could i come ? would love to mmet fan and the goats :) and jay devon mainly because she sounds like a nut :eek::p

[sancho]

Fanshaw, just PMd you on another subject.

Was thinking of organising an Exeter meet someday for SOmerset/Devon peeps but would be interested in coming along to this one if thats ok (we are in west somerset).

Also have my daughter, Fandango and Drummer&ELi who would be interested in meeting up too! We are all part of the Fanshaw Appreciation Society but promise not to be stalker types!!!!:)

Would depend when the meet is of course!!

Are we allowed??????

[jaydevon]

LOL i cant promise to stalk anyone!

[jaydevon]

im in somerset but could i come ? would love to mmet fan and the goats :) and jay devon mainly because she sounds like a nut :eek::p

:eek: yeah thanks for that hun..... love u too!

[chickyd444]

? i dont want to be stalked :confused:

[chickyd444]

so when is the meet taking place ? :)

[Fanshawe]

Lol. Stalkers and foreigners :D welcome as long as they are prepared to help out with fencing! ;)

You are very welcome to come to mine if you prefer and meet the crew but it might be too far for some as I am literally on the south coast- beach ride anyone?:) It is a beautiful spot, very peaceful and perfect for a picnic if you don't mind fighting the chickens off for your sandwiches! In case of rain always have the hay barn! However I'm also very happy to drive to Oke as that will be easier for most. Totally up to you lot.

What's everyone doing the Sunday after this one? Lunchtime ish?

[lemon03]

i will be free, i have my reiki course this weekend. anywhere is fine with me. not stalking promise!;)

[chickyd444]

i have got OH's caving club AGM :(

[Fanshawe]

ok how about the weekend after that- sat or sun!?

[chickyd444]

weekends are always dandy ;)

[jaydevon]

i can do anytime in april, chickens??? yummy?? bbq?? beach ride?? ME ME ME! ... you know on the goats thing, we had a goat when i was a kid, billy, we used to take him to the pub and all sorts!!

[sancho]

Ok Ive scared you all now!!!!!!!!!! LOL :eek:;)

I feel that we might be interrupting if you were going to meet at someones house.

Would be fine about meeting up on another date tho maybe later in the summer if that suits.

Please dont be scared...much!

[Fanshawe]

Nope definately not scared me and it would be my place you'd be coming to! I reckon I can spot a mad axe murderer a mile off and you'd never find my place anyway so I'd have to meet you all somewhere neutral! If you want to meet the gang you are all very welcome. We could meet at a local pub for a lunchtime drink and food if people want it and then anyone who wants to meet the gang can do so in the afternoon?

Or Oke is fine too!

[jaydevon]

again im easy, well not in that sence... but am married and will have 4 horses as of next week so a full diary (unless you include shows, farrier,vet hayman ect) is pretty empty!:(

[princess3681]

Oh this sounds like fun! Can I pop along too, however if you are going out for a ride let me know as I havent got a horse of my own (yet haha).

But if your meeting for chats and drinks and general shenanigans count me in!!!! Be great to meet everyone :D

[burness_21]

me too me too lol. i live in oke so that would be better for me but can travel if thats easier. fanshawe you could if its at okehampton come and meet donna.

[clairey259]

I'm still keen and i don't mind where we go!! Fanshawe i'm sure you wouldn't mind me coming round!!! LOL

[lemon03]

well if you really need that fencing doing. ;)

[jaydevon]

um must remember this...... my field may need poop picking soon.... :D

[lemon03]

sounds like a good plan, every time someone needs something doing we arrange a meet. what an idea.:D

[jaydevon]

right meet this weekend..... snapper needs riding!;)

[lemon03]

i have my reiki course this weekend. who is snapper?:)

[jaydevon]

hehe my wonderful sweet showjumper :rolleyes:

[lemon03]

aww, did i see you in liskeard a month or so ago? there was a little car with amersham horse rescue on the sides.in coop car park?

[jaydevon]

nope, after the 26th of january my signs got put in a bin, and i vowed not to have anything further to do with opoeration esther.... i do however still support the horse trust.

[sancho]

Ok, if youre sure....:o

Let me know the date and I'll round up the other loonies!:p


p.s Im too busy stalking Skippys Mum at the moment and Im strictly into stalking one person at a time, she'll tell you all about me!!!!!!!!!! :D;)

[lemon03]

glad i didnt jump out asking is that jaydevon of nr. i would have looked a right muppet.:D

[jaydevon]

lol we only had operation esther signs anyway....was it a black car? a lady from cornwall helped me out and took her trailer....

have u decided if your riding snapper yet... will feed you after!:D

[lemon03]

mmm how big is she, i am a wimp you know.poop myself jumping my 12.2hh pony 1ft. lol. i think it was a little purplely, blue car it was dark. the night that is not car. :)

[monique]

Can I join in as long as it's not this weekend got the lady from the native saddle co coming cos although I love riding in a treeless saddle the kids don't and if we are gonna do some tiddly jumping with Syd this year I defo need kneerolls and no Jaydevon I won't be volunteering to jump Snapper I'll leave that to Lemon03:D

[Fanshawe]

Yay we have a really good group now! Ok so not this weekend or the one after but the one after that? Think that's the 12th/13th. If so will have to be the Sunday as I have work on the Sat. Sunday lunch ok? As no one has any objections it seems that most people want to come and meet the cause of all the trouble down at mine :D. (Burness I will come up and meet Donna soon I promise-keep meaning to visit up that way soon anyway!) If that is ok with everybody then we can set the date and rough time and I can tell you a good pub which has plenty of parking! Then we can all sit around not quite sure what to say until jaydevon gets us all going! :)

If you want to visit the gang then you will need wellies and clothes you don't mind being investigated to see if it is edible! Oh and I will be frisking people to check if you have stolen any of the gorgeous babies :D (Clairey259 I think I can very safely say that you will be very very welcome!)

[sancho]

I wont be able to make it that weekend. Not really free until the end of May (sounds good but I promise you it isnt!).

Have fun and maybe we can come and meet you all on another date later in the year? :)

[jaydevon]

erm fanshaw i always where clothes around horses????

if hubby comes can offer lifts if not then will need to jump on someones roofrack!

[Fanshawe]

Aww that's a shame Sancho. In that case definately come to the summer one (oops if of course Jaydevon is ok with that! :)).

Hubbys welcome from my point of view! Where about are you jaydevon?

[jaydevon]

im ok with whatever.... me im pretty easy going, im in exeter, caridbach10 may also want to come, and clairey259 lives about 5 mins walk from me (see i have my own stalker!! )

i can drive but has to be on L plates so if anyone is brave enough..............

[clairey259]

I can safely say im NOT a stalker!!

[jaydevon]

God dam it!!! i thought my life was about to get exciting! :rolleyes:

[Fanshawe]

She may not be a stalker but she's definately lovely! I can lend you one of my stalkers if you want??? :D

[jaydevon]

ahhh you havnt had her round for wine yet have you LOL! i tend to scare stalkers away............

[clairey259]

Stop being horrid!!!!!!!! Thats it, im not talking to you lot anymore!!!

[jaydevon]

PMSL yes you are!!!! i will set snapper on you if you dont!!! :eek:

[burness_21]

yeah no worries i can offer a lift if anybody wants one.

[lemon03]

so where and when?:confused::)

[Fanshawe]

Looks like it's Sunday 13th April, near me which is just outside Plymouth. Best place to meet will be in Yealmpton on the A379 at the Rose and Crown. www.theroseandcrown.co.uk

I'll be there from 12 as I want food! If anyone else also wants to eat then let me know. Guess we'll be there till 2 or 3ish then off to meet the gang. Whoever wants to come then let me know and I'll pm you my mobile number so you can check if we are still there!

[lemon03]

yes i will def be there. dont now how to get there though, will get me map out. :D look forward to meeting you all.

[jaydevon]

did we all agree on a set date?

[lemon03]

sunday the 13th is great with me.12pm.:)

[Fanshawe]

Well I'm going to be there with lemon03 even if it's just the two of us! :D

[jaydevon]

im there!!! im there!!! do we get to meet goats, neds etc??? ride??? fencing??? (hubby will proberley come hes very useful!!)

[burness_21]

ill be there

[jaydevon]

cool! we can do lifts for anyone coming from exeter onwards! or if the other way your welcome, to get to exeter and we will bring you from there

[Fanshawe]

Brilliant! You can meet the goats and Fan no problem. No need to worry about the fencing (yes it needs doing but it's too cheeky!). I would say that you could have a ride on Fan but that involves me managing to get round to making friends with a neighbour who I had a fall out with so we could use her arena- I'm in a field and the only flat bit is not good and although you can put a beginner on her I wouldn't recommend anyone riding her in the open field. Oh and you would all have to be taught our way and be prepared to have me insisting on riding without reins etc and shouting at you if you pull or kick ;) :D. Hey bring a helmet and if we can/you want to then we'll sort something even if it's a short walk! Bear in mind that she is 17hh but a gentle and sweet soul. Looking forward to it. :)

[jaydevon]

im up for bareback in a open field.... and i have no objections to being told on how to ride someones horse.... always refreshing to try something new!! and dont worry i dont do pulling or kicking!


oh what do i pull on if i have no reins????

[sarah76]

Oh can i come please?:D

[Fanshawe]

Absolutely definately! :D

[Fanshawe]

Ok so who else is going to join us? Need a big group so we can upset any snobby locals/grokels!

[lemon03]

me:D

[Fanshawe]

Ok so far we have

ME!
Jaydevon,

Sarah76
burness 21

princess1986 are you coming?

[burness_21]

[lemon03]

hope so been looking forward to this.:D

[jaydevon]

im still up for it, dont think clairey259 can make it, but im sure she will c this and confirm, me and hubby are still coming, does anyone need a lift?

[clairey259]

At the moment it looks very unlikely, which im sad about as i really wanted to meet up! Oh well, we will have to arrange another one so i can meet those of you that i haven't met yet!

[princess3681]

Oh no I dont think I can now make it on sunday :( gonna try and get out of my plans so I can so will keep ya posted! If I cant make it though I will definately be up for the next one!!!! :)

[Fanshawe]

Well there will be at least 4 of us which then! Clairey_259 please please please come - otherwise you might miss out on baby goat cuddles as soon they will be too big to accept them (and too stroppy to want to give them to them!) If not you will have to come over and visit soon- Fan would like to see you (oh and me too!)

[jaydevon]

right , are we deffinatley on for tomorrow then???

[Fanshawe]

Well I'm there even if none of you lot turn up!!! :D Don't forget wellies (not too bad at the mo for mud so work boots ok, but if it rains.......) clothes you don't mind getting chewed, cameras (I can guarantee you will want photos of the babies!) oh and a big smile! See you at the Rose and Crown in Yealmpton at 12 tomorrow.

[jaydevon]

whoooooo we shall be there.... baby goats... rrrrrrr your poor ned isnt going to get a look in!

[lemon03]

[Mossy]
