Actual serious question: does anyone not want us to cook them dinner on Saturday? We'll be doing chicken tikka masala.

Not even allergic, just intolerant. Eating more than trace levels of nuts leads to a certain amount of gastric distress and one or two weeks to completely recover.

Nope, they're just garnish, so we'll leave them off (or, rather, let people put their own on).

I am ever hungry. Me for dinner. Me.

Silly question but cam I get a confirmation on the exact address? Can't see it mentioned in the thread anywhere. I'll be rocking into Derby train station mid-day Saturday.

Not sure what fun things I'll be bringing, other than whiskey, wine and my X100F. Might bring a couple of cult movies, such as RepoMan. Ooh! Will I need to bring a sleeping bag and mat?

I've never known. I show up near the ASDAs, get blindfolded and thrown in a boot, then driven around for hours. Every single year. It's a 'joke' they have.

Stenson Hill Farm
Derby Road
Twyford
DE73 7FZ

It's not very well signposted off the main road, there's just a turn off through a wooden gate that leads down a very straight road. At the end of the straight bit is a "fork" - you need to go left over a rickety metal bridge, and then I think left at another fork to go down to the cottages themselves.

Alongside Go, I've always wanted to learn Bridge. I'd happily to take on all-comers at croquet too. And if you think it's a genteel game, you've clearly never thwacked someone's ball into oblivion and smiled as you've done so.

Bought a bottle of wine to accompany cottage related baking, as per tradition. I am now full of red wine and peanut butter buttercream and feel this is going to end badly.

I've been to Costco and instead of the normal pretzels, I've picked up some peanut butter filled ones.

Sorry Mr Dave.

Request from Mat:

Can people bring some ping pong balls? He has a beer pong table and no balls.

I ran to the second cottage to replenish the bar,
But got distracted by seeing Mr Dave in VR.

I did not appreciate this enough at the time. It’s awesome :D

I'll be getting in at 13:34 at Derby train station. Happily, despite the fiddly walk to the bus station, the number 38 drops me off right by the turn-off to the cottage. Handy.

Other than some classic films and TV DVDs, a board game (probably Camel Up) my photography skills and rudimentary wit, I have little to offer, but I pray you all welcome me to my first Beex Cottage with welcome and mildly hungover arms.

Unfortunately there's a great big paw shaped hole in the middle so the structural integrity is knackered, otherwise I'd have hidden it under icing :D

Sounds like a feature to me! Benefiting the people eating it with a light and airy center that will leave them wanting more....

It's all in the way you sell it.
