All aboard!

A good weekend - the barn dance went well, with over 80 there & a really clean floor as the hall had all been scrubbed after the dog show!
The catering was spot on & the supper was great & well received.
We came home & slept through the recording of "Strictly", with relief.

Church this morning, followed by a Paleo breakfast of bacon & egg before going to The Cruise Show at the NEC, compliments of Fred Olsen.
Full of middle aged + cruising types, we were quite out of place - much too young & fit!

Weird chickens - taken to sitting on a horizontal branch half way up the hedge or on a tree branch in the wood - they fly down the field when called/ when they hear us.
the one thing they don't do at all this week, is lay eggs, not in the laying box, anyway!

Exciting day tomorrow, picking up some new wheels!!!
More later.

"cruising" types....I'd heard about this kind of behaviour among the middle-aged, but didn't know it was actively encouraged by Fred Olsen.

What is a barn dance

What is LMAO?

T - a rural/countryside dance, held in a barn - sit on straw bales & have country music, a 3 man band & a caller, who tells the dancers what to do.
You would love it - next time??

Your description of the "barn dance" was more of a pensioners picnic party in the parish hall" when you tried to sell me a ticket. There was no mention of strenuous physical activity in the form of dance lessons, or the presence of agricultural by-products as seating. Hopefully the music was not of the morose egocentric personal disaster idiom so typical of the genre of country music elsewhere.
