Re: TV locations for the Famous Five series
Having made the suggestion of the date, I'd better put it in my diary too! It would be great to see you again Gary. When I saw you and the others at the EB day, I hadn't at that time seen any of the TV series. That has since been remedied as I now possess a complete boxed set and have enjoyed looking at the whole series.

Re: TV locations for the Famous Five series
I'll be going through the series again now, having seen Exbury and seeing a few other locations where the filming took place such a Burley, and the part in Hike where they stop the policeman at the crossroads. We took that road into Burley after Exbury Gardens.
Daisy what date is the second Saturday in May? I don't have a new calendar or diary yet.

Re: TV locations for the Famous Five series
Great photos, Julie. Exbury House always looks so nice when bathed in sunshine. I've been quite a few times, but my last visit was around 3 years ago. I'm going to resist the temptation to nip over whilst I'm in Dorset & wait till next May instead.
Re: TV locations for the Famous Five series
The date would be in my diary/calendar if I had a 2017 one! I am sure there will be plenty of reminders before then, though!

Nice photos, Julie! May should be a good time for me and I'd love to join the Exbury meet-up.

Re: TV locations for the Famous Five series
Great photos, Julie. I've already entered a possible visit to Exbury on 13th May in the 2017 Year Planner at the back of my current diary.

Re: TV locations for the Famous Five series
I would be back at work!
I posted this on another thread, but as we are speaking "Exbury" here, these are some photos we took yesterday.

Super pictures Nigel and Julie. I would also love to join a gathering at Exbury next year.
