Washout!

The wife rudely woke me up at 5.30am this morning to say that she was panicking as it has rained all night and the back garden is in no state to hold Elliot's birthday BBQ. I nodded and went back to sleep.

When I woke for real later on, I discovered she had booked the church pavilion and the BBQ would now take place there, albeit minus the BBQ. Seeing as it has not stopped raining all summer, I felt it was the right decision.

Usual stresses of tesco and trying to remember everything and somehow managing to fit in a swim was followed by a cracking evening where the kids played nicely and the adults drank wine, beer and champagne. The spread went down well and all was done and dusted by 11pm.

The only drawback was having to clear up at that time but as you can see, we had three little helpers;)

The after party back at the ranch was just me and the wife and for some reason we decided cocktails would be a good idea:(

A birthday party to remember!
