We only took 5 - well actually India took them all - Kev and I were on video duty - although we have yet to view the footage so you may be spared.

GGG2 the makeshift party tent - note the hands holding it down in the wind

Some of the food in the "kitchen"

Fixing the barricades

Surveying the damage

None of our flattened tent, Joh's yummy tiffin, Deb's divine kebabs or Carols small world dancing in the Eurodision unfortunately

They are all brilliant photos, I have some, will have to dig the camera out, I didnt take many. Brilliant references to Hi Di Hi Deb, loving it. Sorry, I've not been around much today to join in, it has been mental in work, I also think its a little like getting back from WDW, all the planning, all the headwork and then its over with, that combined with the pants weather, the collapsing gazebos has made me a little bluesy LOL ...

I'm impressed, Nat - a Breezer and a Strongbow! I'm just wondering why Matt's never thought of the two drinks at once ruse.

either that or Nat had asked for a drop of my Mr Pinot, I tend to get possessive of him
