Some with a mission already under their belt, now was the time to let down our locks and have some fun in the park.

We had been voting all weekend on whether this gathering was going ahead or not, guess what won?

So with, snacks, sandwiches, gazeebos, blankets and a little booze we all met up. Chatting began, and then music went on (thanks Ana Matronic's mixes). It was not too long until the games started (thanks Nathan).

We had the joy of Finnish Mölkky - I am NOT going to try to explain this so have a look, just know that it is GREAT fun. RULES.

Followed by the fun of Swedish Kubb - again look here for the RULES.

Thankfully all forecasts were totally wrong and we had a good several hours in the park laughing, playing and eating. Oh, we had better get out more next week to work off those snacks.......
