NFOL second day

After a dry but cool night we had a nice sunny dry day. We had a wander around the trade stands and bought a few bits we did not know we needed as usual. We had a hog roast and drinks in the quiet beer tent, the club band was playing in the big marquee. The event was officially opened after a rather drawn out ceremony with  ex-presidents, official visitors and sponsors making an appearance on stage. Jerry bought Libby a new re-laxer chair and I found a neat folding aluminium table which will be handy when we do not need the dining table or
to use for the BBQ or Jamie grill.

We went back to our pitch and the "Jamie" was fired up again, on the new table, to do a grill as we did not have enough time to light the charcoal BBQ before it became too chilly. There was a nice sunset and we managed to eat in our van by using the table from Libby's caravan.

I walked up after dinner to try and see the outdoor James Turrell light display at Houghton Hall but somehow, with the help of a confused warden, managed to arrive between the static display and the animated display and saw nothing at all!
