After breakfast, we set Martin on “NOT taking down” the old hen house. Apparently it would be a terrible shame if the old hen house was dismantled. With serious red mist up with the axe, most of us stayed out of the way, except for Jose and Kat who also got a bit keen with another axe. With the wood stacked up ready for the fire later, we set up the targets and curtain so that we could do some archery. Chippy joined us too. There were a few seriously colourful bruises obtained by the archery virgins. They need to get their own arm protection that fits properly. Tina and Jason arrived and after lunch a few of us did some more archery with them.
I was on dinner duty today and started the preparations in the afternoon. I had decided on pork and apple braise and there was a lot to chop up. With everything prepared we waited for Steve and Trudy to arrive. With everyone settled in, we ate dinner which I think everyone enjoyed. The fire was built, and then it rained. Luckily it passed over and we could then all move from the tent to the campfire. Stevie made some banana and chocolates and wrapped them in foil to go in the fire. We had marshmallows to cook in the fire too. We passed around the usual port and other shared beverages, and chatted until late. The numbers dwindled slowly and it was soon time to get off to my sleeping bag.
