mwnt

friend of kid #1 wanted to camp by the beach for her birthday party. this was, i thought, much better than bowling or the all-you-can-eat buffet place. but where? “if we’re now looking at going that far, i can vouch for this place” and lo – mwnt.

about time

third time for about time. featured the amazing paddy steer, a last minute venue change that worked out better than the original, DIY bartending, and still had an open air shower in the sun. fabulous.

saltford kayak

sitting at the desk, the weather had been overcast. but then a ray of sun broke through the gloom as the memory hit that north avon canoe club would be having a social paddle that evening. and so it was later i found myself outside in what turned out to be a glorious evening, riding to them through the open countryside, and then once introductions made, this.

one of the better evenings, for sure.

about time, by night

this is the second year friends have organised something between family camping and a little festival, and after some great moments last year mixed with organisational challenges of not quite knowing if it’s one or the other, they nailed it this year. huzzah!
