A naturalish abstract...

...at the reservoir on the way to petanque this aft...

Good games all round - very close, and lots of banter ;) 
At one point I couldn't play for laughing...

Yesterday evening was also fun - the lights went off at about 8pm, and Northern Powergrid's best guess was 9.45pm for a resumption of power.
We preppers were ready - torch at hand, we located the little wind up radio, the camping gaz lantern, and the powerpack to keep the phones charged ;) 

We spent the evening reading and commenting on Blips, while listening to soothing music on Classic FM. Power returned at 10.45, just in time for us to turn things off before retiring ;))
