The worse news: I'm cooking brekky! 
Steve, I've changed my mind about the sloe bug. The logistics of keeping it fed and watered on a four day trip might be a bit difficult. I'll bring one to Thursley or Priory instead.
Dave P. | Excellent

Hi Guys
I am really envious of you all going next week. I hope the weather holds for you and I am looking forward to seeing the photos and of hearing your stories, especially what Boddie has got planned for his "little room".
I am sure breakie will be great, as long as Dave's little cooker holds out. That said there's no need to rush. The first time I met Dave was in the carpark in Gilfach farm. He offered me a coffee, when the water boiled on his cooker..Two gas canisters and three quarters of an hour later...the delicious coffee arrived...lol
Take care guys and have a good time.
Martin

(I hope "fully equipped" includes a dishwasher.  )

Dave P. | Good practice for Clumber Dave 
I’m really quite jealous, as I would love to be there with you all.
Have a great time everyone and I / we look forward to some stunning images and stories on your return.

The web site ( Bunkhouse | Springhill Farm Holiday Accommodation) just says "a fully equipped self catering kitchen" and the photo shows two cookers, a kettle and a toaster but I can't see a microwave there. But it's only one corner of the kitchen.

Microwave yes  , dishwasher no  .
I've also rung the National Trust to check the landing fees and it is £6 on each island. It might be a good idea to take the correct money to save them having to make change.
