The warm evening sun soon dried our things but as the sun began to sink and the shadows lengthened...
...the midges came out. David had set up his fancy new inflatable luxury camping armchair by the tents. Unfortunately so ferocious was the sudden midge attack that, as he lashed out at the invisible enemy, the whole contraption exploded and collapsed, leaving him stranded like an upturned tortoise. It would have been hilarious if we had not all been scrambling round for...
...our own midge jackets. After donning them we decided to cook on the shore where there were slightly fewer of the predators. We were certainly not top of the food chain that night.
We soon got a rip roaring fire going and gathered...
...round to swap yarns and...
...roast potatoes in the embers.
Never mind the flames or the midges, rip roaring yarns lasted long into the summer night!
