we have loved going up to SOTP weekend parties now for a number of years, and wouldnt miss it for te world. the weather was less than friendly, with rain and wind, but the hosts and company more than made up for that. This group of friends often feels like a chosen family and always great to be spending time all together. we had lots of laughter, lots of tea and lots of cake. there was plenty of alcohol for those drinking too.
The children all had fun, BB running in a posse with J and R for lots of the time, but also with bigger groups. SB spent a lot of time with E and also dsing or playing board games. They both had a great time. we did a short walk one day with a cache, and there was a longer walk the next day.
lots of music and laughter, a caberet and then further playing and singing [somewhat raucously in the end!] and general conviviality and late nights
thanks SOTP for another lovely weekend
