Love the photos - have missed being thee this year as have our dogs! They are water babies like your Bailey! Maybe next year when we have our campervan as tenting is too much for us now as hubby is not well.



Sorry to hear that, hope you get back there soon, it really is a doggie's paradise down by that lake!

Hi Tracy,Looks like we are destined not to get on the same site at the same time.
We have had to cancel, i have been diagnosed with two tumors on my pancreas. This has been ongoing for 6 months and has been pretty stressful.I was told 2 weeks ago in Christies hospital, i would have to have my pancreas, spleen and part of my bowel removed.Totally life changing stuff.But some good positive news had an appointment with the surgeon on Monday. He is quite positive he can cut them out without me losing anything.
Going for a biopsy in Manchester Royal this Friday,and will hear about op soon after.Hopefully next year back to normal we have booked cloverfields for end of May.
Sorry to hijack your post.

Oh dear, I'm so sorry to hear that. The reason we cancelled in May was due to my mam being rushed into hospital, we thought she had an infection but she ended up having emergency surgery after they did a scan and found a tumour in her bowel. My mam is 84 and she has made an amazing recovery, she had her follow up last week and was told the op had gone as well as it possibly could have with all of the tumour being removed and no spreading, although they did offer her chemo just in case there was anything not visible to the naked eye, but she has declined that. She had gone down to 7 stone but has put about a stone and a half back on. She's back to doing all her own housework and cooking and has started walking to the shops again. Today, just over 12 weeks since her op we went out for lunch and I happily watched her eat a 10oz ribeye steak and fries, before the op she was surviving on practically nothing.

Whilst this must be a terrible time for you, at least you have some positive news. I hope that everything goes really well for you and that we do eventually meet up one day! Take care x

You have always been a great advocate of FF Tracy and I always enjoy your trip reports and photo's..The latest batch being no exception...Well done you!!!

Always been fascinated with FF since way back in the day on UKCS it was quite popular with members on here and always got favourable reviews from everyone..I am forever saying "I need to visit that place" Distance from Scotland...And a current fascination with the far northwest coast always keep me from turning/heading southwards on my main holidays...So for these past few years I make do with your piccies/reports to keep my interest alive...Again well done and keep up the good work...

Jelboy.

Thanks very much Jelboy, I do hope you get to visit one day! I'm delighted to say that one of my photos has just won me a prize on Twitter, it's either one of the lake shots or one of some cygnets on Llandrindod Lake

We went to Fforest Fields this time last year and I looked out for your tent (and pooch) but didn't see you 😕
Hope you're well

Hi Andy, nice to hear from you. It was strange this year as we hardly saw anyone we knew, usually, as you know, you tend to see the same people each year at the same time. Funnily enough you tend to remember people by their dogs, we saw one at the lake, didn't recognise mum, just the dog!! Hope you are all well x
