fancy dress

The townies invaded sleepy Dorset at the weekend. 21 people packed into a big, and quite run-down, manor house in celebration of Andy's 30th birthday.

Tried cooking for 20+ people on a aga? Easy it wasn't. Boiling potatos took over 2 hours. Still, slightly shambolic meal aside, there were late nights, house music, horror fancy dress costumes and a sum total of 3 minutes spent outside in the very countryside that we'd driven 4 hours from London to experience.
