Muzette playing football....

....and making the rules up as she went along :roll:

The Jrs playing nicely together for once. Briefly.

Ah, that Birthday cake. Despite all reasonable efforts to round everyone up, it appears some people escaped the cake by sloping off to the pub. It was nice :wink:

Image

Image
Time to burn some charcoal. And some wood :lol: [-X

Image

Image
Venison grillsteaks and naan breads to go with a rather excellent lamb korma & rice provided by Trish (hatris) =P~

Image

Image
Now I’m not saying it was cold overnight....

Image
....but with –6.2 Celsius recorded on site we had ice on the inside of our tent :shock:
