Chris, I'm familiar with cwtching. I'm from Celtic stock Grin and I've lived in Wales in my time.
Might help if there's an element of choice in it though, I could get partial to one of those Sealed Knot lot if the costume takes my fancy Wink

TarteAuxRiz · 22/01/2014 22:45

I have a bell tent, some bunting, a couple of pigs, a dozen chickens and two semi feral children. None of us play an instrument, unless you count the recorder being blown very squeakily by youngest child. I do however cook a mean campfire meal and we have last years damson vodka just about ready to open! :)

TarteAuxRiz · 22/01/2014 22:48

Not sure the pigs will scare the horses though, the male one falls asleep when you tickle his belly (bloody daft bugger).

I hope the bunting behaves itself... its always a risk...

Lifeofatortoise · 22/01/2014 22:59

Could admission for festival be to pay in random seeds to make the wild meadow when we leave?

Cataline · 22/01/2014 23:03

I am also delurking to repeat the "Just say NO( and FUCK right off)" mantra.

Count me in for the festival too please Grin. I will bring a fearless kickboxing 6 year old with a mean tornado kick. He also does a particularly good rendition of every song from Frozen and is currently trying out the method version of acting for his class assembly role of Samuel Pepys. Will also throw in a ferocious biatch of a tabby cat.
And...... I will build you a pizza oven in your field and spend the festival making delicious stone baked pizzas for everyone. Sound ok? Grin

aderynlas · 22/01/2014 23:08

Chris i have to know what cwtch is with my name dont i. Hope all goes well and this is sorted for you soon. Not artistic cant make bunting for the party. I do have lots of flags though would look very pretty. Depends how far west of me you are xx

littleblackno · 22/01/2014 23:21

Delurking too.
have been following this in amazement at the sheer piss taking cheek of whsts going on.
I know nothing about horses and am a bit scared of them. But I've never been to a festival snd think an mn one full of vipers and gin would be a perfect introduction for me Grin

littleblackno · 22/01/2014 23:23

Was going to add that I'm not sure what I have to offer but I have a box of random seeds in my shed so could bring them to chuck about. I'm also a little bit woo, so could bring my tarot cards snd set up a fortune tellers tent ?!

Goody a festival, missed the Glastonbury tickets this year but I'm sure this'll be better.

I will be very happy to do a Wine tent as I don't like beer very much, and can offer a band with Coldplay, Talking Heads and The Cranberries (amongst other things) on their setlist.

Homebird8 · 23/01/2014 08:50

I don't know, I go to work for a few hours and all this happens. OP, if you're planning at the festival to churn up the ground with all that rooting then I'd think again.

If you lived where I do then you'd know why I'm suggesting this activity doesn't happen with a cheering crowd of Beavers, Rainbows, Brownies, and Cubs. The Guides and the Scouts may well take notes.

Check this website under R for root

IdaBlankenship · 23/01/2014 09:00

I rent out vintage china, I could do an afternoon tea tent full of victoria sponges and ladies fingers to be a haven amongst the vikings, drummers, random re-enactors..

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 23/01/2014 09:08

Homebird Grin ha! That would have to be pretty vigorous rooting to churn up the ground!

Dame, a band is an automatic invite.

Thomaslynn, I'm intrigued by your fancy cat hat.

Kelp, we definitely need something roasting whole on a spit ever tried horse?

Little, seeds and woo? What more could we want?

Aderyn :) flags would be grand

Cataline, pizza, in a field? Fantastic!

Tortoise, that's a brilliant plan.

Mistle that is some fancy bunting

Tarte, you had me at damson vodka. Hope NISI's still on duty with the bucket.

Enrique, which style of costume takes your fancy?

OP posts:
FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 23/01/2014 09:08

Ida, a little haven of afternoon tea :)

OP posts:
BuntyPenfold · 23/01/2014 09:14

Sounds great, I'm in.
I am an expert in cooking the full English over a campfire, I am always popular the morning after :)

IdaBlankenship · 23/01/2014 09:14

I'd put it far from the campervan on bricks though - try and be a bit classy

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 23/01/2014 09:56

Bunty that's definitely a necessary skill!

Ida, it's important to be classy.

A boring but reassuring update for you! The drive is clear and wasn't used for turning either because turning here is a stupid place as it's on a blooming blind bend

Hopefully this will now settle into being the most boring thread ever, with the next few updates being "they've emptied the shed!", "they've put up an electric fence so I can use the field!" And then a final "they're gone! And it's mine all mine!"

swampytiggaa · 23/01/2014 10:18

fab. I really hope they are boring updates for your sake Thanks

the festival is still on tho isn't it?Wink

tiredoutgran · 23/01/2014 10:19

I hope the next one is 'they have had enough and moved the lot'!

dawntigga · 23/01/2014 10:24

I agree with all of it, but it has to be done naked - with class natch.

IcingOnTheCakeTiggaxx

Blatherskite · 23/01/2014 10:42

Hoorah for the Op being highlighted again! Much better :)

PixieBumbles · 23/01/2014 10:45

Finally delurking! Sounds like you're getting somewhere at last!

Can I come to Fuckyoufest? I can bring morris dancers. I know morris dancers aren't many people's cup of tea but hear me out. If UW and horses are still around, we have sticks. Big sticks. And we make a lot of noise.

I can also bring historical reenactors. With weapons. (yeah I'm so totally cool)

Lots of extra beer will be needed though...

mrsrupertpenryjones · 23/01/2014 11:01

Regardless of anything else Tooextraimaturecheddar owes me a new laptop from spitting tea over it laughing a wankbadgers.
