Friends of Catton Park picnic - 14th July 2007

 We held our birthday picnic in the park on Saturday14th July and fortunately, in this wet summer, it was one day that stayed dry and warm.

 About 25 people gathered and enjoyed the sunshine, their sandwiches and food and drink and the games that had been arranged.

 We even learned what a ‘dwile’ is – a close encounter with a wet dishcloth for those who joined in that traditional Norfolk game.

 The pictures include the traditional French ‘boules’ and the picnicers sitting out in the sunshine, as others walk past. It was noticeable how many people are now enjoying walking in the park – this even before it has been officially declared open.

 Finally we rounded off with a birthday cake in honour of the 500 year old oak tree (though we were not actually located very close to that particular tree!) – a lovely carrot cake.

 Thanks to all who helped make this an enjoyable occasion.
