Busy busy day

The boats kept coming and the arm filled up. Six arrived this morning and more turned up this afternoon.Tomorrow we expect another 3, one of which is a widebeam.. This year the number of boats have surpassed all our hopes. If you think back a year ago we were in freezing conditions and snow was laying. We were lucky if 6 boats turned up and the games evening was a bit of a disaster. Only the brave ventured out.

By 11am and this now.

Today has been all about getting the cottage ready. Margaret and I have been moving tables and chairs, we have washed floors, cleaned work surfaces and hoovered. Then the games were laid out onto the tables ( Rummikub, Mexican Train, Uno, Dominoes etc ) whilst the men have been tidying the grounds and laying the fires. Soon it will be time to order the 17 portions of fish and chips that will start our evening off. Oh happy days.

  2. Hello Angie,

    The bird is a Goldfinch. So far the weekend has started well with the games evening a roaring success. I'm sure the Pie and Pea will be equally successful.
    Best wishes to you

    Irene
