11th Night. Party time despite the weather

As usual we planned to have a BBQ on the 11th night but despite a good week, the weather forecast was for heavy rain, and the forecast was spot on. We solved the problem by buying a large ex-demo party tent (we called it the Function Room). Despite the rain and wind we had a wonderful nights craic. BBQ, a selection of fine desert's and some games to finish off the night. This was Nathans first BBQ and Nathan and Elaine did very well despite the conditions, bit of a baptism of fire.
Richard and Myrtle were just back from Uganda and it was good to have them back safe and sound.
We had to really tie down the tent as the wind picked up and became a real threat but by that time around 12.00pm, everyone was heading home.
Thanks to everyone for being hardy and making it a great night.
