Following a bit of a scare about F&M yesterday........

.......the North Lincolnshire Expeditionary Force are assembling in preparation for their 'push' over the border into Norfolk for next week's Royal Norfolk Show.

The Quartermaster tells me he will stop over at Saracen's Head to take on more supplies, mainly .............

....before we push on to Sutton Bridge. Hopefully the Cross Keys Bridge will be still in tact, otherwise we'll have to build a pontoon over the Nene.

Then it's on, into deepest, darkest Narfuk 😱. Over the Ouse at Kings Lynn and then there's really no turning back.

We should reach base camp at Dunston by Tuesday night. Wednesday will see us push onto the showground at Norwich where some sheep judging will take place (I fully expect to find most of the feckers guilty :facepalm:)

So, how many of you Narfukian contributors will be going? I could be tied up with sheep for quite a while (have to judge Lincolns and then Any Other Longwools) - should be done by dinner time?? :scratchhead:

It would be nice to put some names to faces and maybe have a beer.
If you're about,look out for a fellow, that looks like a flour grader, in a white coat and bowler hat and come and say 'hello'........

...........that's me in the middle.
I'll be there Wednesday with the family.
The trouble is yella your description doesn't help much as there'll be a whole army of white coated, bowler hatted flour graders all very busy around the stock pens🤔 I'd gladly let you supply me with a pint of wherry form the woodfordes tent thought!!!!!!😍😍😍

@yellow belly thats a lovely idea, but looks like we will be haymaking this week unless we get rained off 😎
You do know once they’ve got you they may not let you leave ?? 😁
No fear of that, were very kind for show week and let "them there furiners" in from all over but we'll have a task force out on patrol Thursday night scanning the boarder lands making sure they're all heading back, any stragglers found lurking around Friday morning will be tied to ketts oak, tared and feathered!!!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍

Sometimes there's just no substitute for throwing a few F's about and when it comes to describing something or someone only a C will do, plan and simple and everyone knows where you stand!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😎😎😎😎
