Hi froggy, your friends house sounds so magnificent, am envious lol!
Sounds like she would have room for a few tents, including our Vee! Tell her the grass will soon bounce back, charge £5pp for charity, hire a portaloo, and away we go lol
Imagine a long table in the garden, full of candles, lanterns in the trees, a brazier for warmth, platters of cheeses & pates, artisan breads, free flowing wine & beer....then back to the tents for a kip, followed by a big fry up next morning..........heaven!
