Feeling The Winter Heat!

Maybe it's the post New Zealand downer or the cool winter days or the fact that half our friends are in the early weeks of the bigger summer hols or teaching in Australia is just a bit crap. Whatever the reason this weekend could not come soon enough.
Having been rained off last weekend we made a second attempt to attend "winterheat". The fact that nobody we spoke to had ever heard of it and the proliferation of empty B&Q white plastic chairs when we arrived left us a tad concerned.


But the view from the top of the "hill" and the proliferation of B&Q mosquito candle buckets restored our faith in the event. It was actually a good evening out with live music (Canadian band from Chad...use your atlas)curry tents, coffee tents and beer tents. They even sold mulled wine to give it that authentic winter feel but had the temperatue been 20 degrees colder it would have felt more authentic.

The grand finale (well as much as the children could put up with) is when the "fire dragon" sent the wishes that the children had written high into the sky. We suggested that Alex should wish for the end of the Israel/Lebanon crisis but he decided to go for the "I want the Pokemon Emerald game" option; shallow little toe rag!
