So the beach plan was washed away by the weather, instead an indoor assault course, freeze dance aka musical statues and free play were on the plan. Some donned safety gear to bash in nails into our children's carpentry work station (adult supervision might have been wise), whilst others bathed playmobil figures in our new poolside scene, complete with working shower and a slide. A few intrepid folks actually donned swimwear!
There was a fabulously flat Victoria Sponge (Oh Delia, we got the tin size wrong), pear sorbet cones (thank you Bev's), P's whole wheat bread, sugar snap peas and triumphant scotch eggs!J wore silk throughout and loved it all. M would have preferred more ceremony around gift-opening and a dairy-indulging ice cream option.
