Soul Survivor, trip one. Just call me rosy?

Had an early breakfast of bacon and mushroom roll, then off at 0840 to fill up with fuel and air before going to Splatt Farm for the trailer, (2 bulb change) then off to St. Josephs for the rest of the luggage etc. before setting off with Harry at about 1020.
Stopped for coffee at Costa "On the run" then only a small hold up with a broken down car just before Exeter. All went well until we got to Ham Hill and part way down it we hit a tail back, it took us about 30 minutes to get to the first turn off and we managed to get around it without much trouble and only 3 or 4 extra miles on the clock, Stopped for a snack on the outskirts of Ilminster and arrived at the Bath and West Showground about 1330.
Merv was already there and informed us that the mini bus was going to be some time as it was stuck in the traffic we had and NOT turned off as we did.
Well we got stuck into it and had a few tents up before they got there as Naomi and Stuart had arrived as well. By this time Harry had vanished without a word so we were short but at 1500ish when the mini bus got there things soon moved as "many hands make light work" don't they mum, ha ha!
A really sunny day (hint)
Well I eventually got away about 1610 and went back as far as Cartgate on the outskirts of Yeovil to eat. I had Cottage Pie and veg (£5.95) so just about got my 5 in for a change with the apple as well! Mind you I never ate the peas as they were like bullets. Would have liked them when I was a child because they would have been great with a big holed cow parsley as pea shooters.
My meal and now just a couple of photos to finish, these were taken by Naomi and myself.

Above is Amy and Josh at nosebag time. Picture taken by Naomi.


Left is Naomi and Merv getting hammered? Picture taken by me













So now why the "Call me rosy?"

Well if you had not guessed by the hints, it was a warmer day than I gave it credit for and failed to put on a hat or sunscreen so my head is extremely red!
