The closing ceremony Sunday saw the caravan paddock and holiday cottages full, and plenty of fishermen. This is despite the day starting with a few rolls of thunder!

This is the scene from Wood Cottage at 7:00 this morning. A beautiful golden/red morning with the threat of rain.
By the afternoon, the rain clouds had left and we were left to sunshine once more.
The carp have been biting well on the lake with one novice fisher-woman catching a gorgeous 7lb mirror carp. It put up a bit of a fight so she had help landing it. What a great introduction to the sport.
The day turned into one of those long-viewed afternoons; where the recently washed dust-free atmosphere brings surrounding hills into close focus.
The combine harvester had been busy making the most of the dry spell. This field of barley stands cut.
There really is nothing left to do but put the kettle on and sit in the evening sun.
Fabulous.
