[goosehd]

Throwing this out there that my family and I have had an unbelievable time so far and can’t express how much I have enjoyed meeting everyone…I love you guys ️

@Tago-Mago No rail replacement service. South Western Railway via Eastleigh, 2:19h and one change of trains.

[Giles]

We did the 2.8 in 2022 and it was brilliant. Tim, remembered that and recreated it for us this year….

[Kasi]

Let’s go

[Oaktavia]

Wondering if day one in my big buck would be okay in this bit of rain...!

[goosehd]

@Oaktavia I would say yes as long as you don’t completely soak it and to be honest may help it settle a little faster. It’s not fragile but I do understand your hesitation.

Edit: …and by soak I mean wearing it in the bath tub type wet.

[Oaktavia]

@goosehd okay cool, that is what I was hoping/thinking too. Thanks again for your eyes on sizing yesterday as well. Big help man.

[goosehd]

@Oaktavia Anytime and can’t wait to see what you do with it…it’s special and one of my favourites.

[Mister_Brue]

@Oaktavia Yeah, I think you’ll be fine too. I’d wear it today if I had one.

[Megatron1505]

@Kasi love those mate.

[Mister_Brue]

Lovely morning coffee sat next to Lottie in Katie’s Vinyl Bar and Kitchen. She used to belong to a customer that passed away, so she has been adopted, and now spends all day lounging on the sofa, maybe having the odd treat or two.

We got back home late last night after a fantastic day with all those who could attend.

Just want to say a huge thank you to @Alex and all the crew for their hard work and incredible hospitality.

Great to see old friend and meet a few folks I had not had the pleasure of knowing before.

For me personally it was a welcome return after a period of absence. I’m not saying that I’ll be here every day going forwards, but let’s just say I will be around more often than not.

Shout out to old mates @louisbosco @neph93 @swiss-jeansfreak @DrPat, always a pleasure lads.

Also to the gents I had either not met before, or only very briefly @Matt @T4920 @Kasi @goosehd .

I know we spoke to a lot more folks, but my memory for names and forum names is shocking, safe to say everyone was great.

Lastly in this “Oscar Winners” speech of a post, @Madame-Buttonfly @Giles , so good to see you again, I’ll leave the next meet up arrangements with Pam as you know I am fucking useless.

[Megatron1505]

Also, to the young gent who asked me yesterday if there would be a HWDC4.

Never say never, but never

[Nik]

Great to see forum friends thanks to Iron Heart for organising a great weekend. Already wore my fleece western shirt to warm up after a rainy run this morning.

[goosehd]

[doubletee]

@goosehd looks awesome guys

[Tobi]

Let me add my thanks for organizing and hosting an exceptionel party, and for an amazing 2days in Gosport! En route slowly back to Gatwick... Stopover in The White Horse in Haslemere.

[Nik]

I’m still thinking about that Trophy horsehide jacket…

[endo]

It‘s been awesome meeting you all, many old friends but also new ones and those I‘d know from the forum but never met in person. Thank you all for having such a great time together, you are wonderful, well-dressed people.

But most of all my thanks belongs to @Alex for being such a generous and attentive host. Thanks so much for making this possible, Alex, and bringing all these wonderful crazy people together!

Unfortunately we had to leave early to catch the ferry and couldn‘t say good-bye and hug everyone as much as we would have liked. Therefore, if you didn’t see us this morning please take our hugs and best wishes for a safe return by this way.

Hope to see you all again soon. Love you.
Mrs E & endo
