There are usually more of us, but many of the regulars had good reasons to be absent and that meant that everyone who did come was able to sit in a big circle on the pleasantly sunny afternoon. It really was very relaxing.
The pictures don't show everyone, as some of the party were engaged in football, mini-golf, pedalos and other distractions. It's a short walk from the Park to the castle, which I understand merits a full day's visit.
Chris, in particular, was busy playing mini golf, practicing for a Challenge. On Monday he and three others will be trying to complete four rounds of golf on a full size course, all in one day, in support of the Macmillan Cancer Support charity. We hope they succeed in this formidable challenge.
It was good to see everyone and enjoy this most pleasant picnic in the park. A lovely way to spend a day.

Looks like you'd have been out of it if you hadn't brought your chair. The small remains of my family are scattered as far apart geographically as is possible in England - did many of yous have to travel a long way?
This is Sue's family, Conrad, spread from Cumbria to Surrey. Less than half of them were able to come this year, and there was a 'chairless' contingent as one of Sue's high flying cousins had carried out an actuarial assessment and had substituted five chairs with a blanket.
