Its been a while since we’ve had a house party to go to, last one being Paul & Julia’s BBQ earlier in the summer, so really enjoyed sitting round, eating and chatting – not drinking this time unfortunately (or should that be fortunately!) as I was driving, and meeting people I haven’t seen in a while.  Good to see Chris, Kelly & Terry from Redbridge.

The kids had a great time in the garden with the bouncy castle etc., with only the odd injury. Meanwhile, we consumed the vast array of food supplied by Dawn – despite being told we couldn’t go home until it was all gone, I believe there was a fair amount left over, although some of us did leave grasping a french stick in one hand!

Listened to some good music, had some interesting (and some distinctly odd) conversations about Plus, old friends, chickens, toilets and compost, amongst other things.  Paul F took a liking to Jamie’s toy tractor so Julia will be buying him one of those for Christmas!

I’m afraid that just as Dawn and Colin got the chance to sit down and relax with the rest of us, we were just about wiped out so went home for some well earned sleep – sorry about that!

Next outing, Barkingside Disco 16th September
