Christmas Field Day and Lunch at Slate Creek

Where: Slate Creek

What: Killing Woody Weeds & Christmas Lunch!

Greetings Biodiversiteering Persons All & One!

And to you too!!

Well, it’s that time of year again when we all gather around the empty bottles and the cold ashes of a long gone and barely remembered winter and say to ourselves well, it’s that time of year again. And it is too. That time of year again. Holy Holly, Batman, I’m getting a whiff of something Yultidifinous.

And you know, it makes me so happy because there are two things I love about Xmas.

The first is listening to Christmas In The Heart, Bob Dylan’s recent album of the same name. All my favourites are there – Little Drummer Boyo, Here Comes Santa Clause, Hark the Herring Angels Sanga… You want some Xmas cheer? Bob’s your man. You’ll just have to trust me on this coz there ain’t no time to sit and wonder why.

The second thing I love about Xmas is BMV’s December Field Day which, this season will be held on Sunday 6th December at Slate Creek, Di & John Harvey’s property otherwise known as 89 Main Rd, Willunga. Right there. Opposite the High School. Enter down the driveway and park where you’re told.

Please. 

The third thing I love about… Three things. There are three things I love about Xmas, and the third thing I love is…       now I forget. What the third thing is. Damn.

Anyway, the food at Slate Creek is going to be magnificent. We’ll start with the oysters and then there will be chicken, mutton, ham, turkey, camel, fritz and a vast range of salads for the veganarians in our midst, followed by pavlova, trifle and a wattleseed something or other, plus all you can drink. But no pork. Definitely not. Or most likely anything else I just mentioned. Except for the vegetarian range. Either way it’s bound to exceed some level of expectation.

Speaking of which, did I mention that you have to work first? To earn your place at the laden table.

That’s right, starting at 9.00, we’ll be working our way either down the creek or up the creek on either the east bank or the west bank, depending on how the fine detail plays out and the pending advice of Director Dan, our Fearless Leader of the FOG, which is completely in control of everything. But I do know that we’ll be killing stuff and stacking stuff into stupifyingly gigantic burn heaps ready for Guy Fawkes Night next year.

So, dress yourself just right y’all, in your bestest Biodiversitin’ Xmas finery and come on down to the mostest dustiest, down dirtiest, dry drinkinest chance you’re gonna get to do something durn good for the world this side of December 7 and to chow down, on us. Nothing could be finer…

Just one thing - so we can be sure to order enough fritz, kindly indicate your best intentions via the Register Here button what you will find nearby to here.

I’ll certainly be there and I hope that the whole BMV family – our Partners, our helper-outers, our regular Field Day gang, our Weedy Wednesdayers – will all be there, along with the Hendersons and me, to celebrate another year of BMV, all that we’ve done together and all that we’ve got planned. And I’m not even joking.

Cheers,

Geoff H
