OMG .... !!!! That's more neighbours with us on their hit list

















Yep, yesterday was the second annual Bulldog Scooter Ride out - and if my neighbours didn't already loathe us - we gave them another 184 reason to see us as the "neighbours from hell" when the scooters decended on our little lane. We really were not expecting quite so many and the "parking" situation just decended into chaos. I am so sorry to all the residents, there had to be double the number of scooters than we had last year but we raised just under £475 in cash and two kennel loads of dog food, washing powder and nappy sacks. This year I got to lead the parade from Bognor to Midhurst in the van - oh boy that was stressful!!! Trying to keep at the right speed, waiting for stragglers to catch up, wondering where on earth the lead scooter that was meant to stop the traffice at the junctions had got to, but it was worth it in the end. I just want to give a huge massive thank you to Tina Hall who organises this and to every single scooterist that came to meet the bulldogs currently in Bulldog Rescue, they were all so tired afterwards, which was just perfect because so were we. Also a big thank you to the Royal Oak pub for allowing us all to decend on them afterwards and to Russell Hastings from the Jam who did a fantastic accoustic set. Despite the two downpours, everyone seemed to have a really great time.
