We had a fun Friday evening down on Wetherby Ings, enjoying the annual
Wetherby Food Festival (
facebook link) despite the best efforts of the weather to thwart us. Rather than the promised thunderstorms, we had drizzle, short downpours and a cooler evening. However, it was nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be when I was driving home from work; the motorway ground to a halt the rain was so heavy.

The live band of the evening was the
Blueprint Blues Brothers, who gave it their all despite the rain trying to stop play. We sheltered during the showers under some of the gazebos, but it didn't dampen the atmosphere. The boys enjoyed the funfair and messing around with their mates.

Dinner was a variety - feta and olive wraps, Pad Thai and Crispy Duck & fries for that Greek-Thai-Fusion effect - washed down with beer from the Rudgate Brewery and later coffees and hot chocolate from the Coffee Galore stand (whose owners were very friendly). Aidan polished it off with a chocolate and marshmallow pancake.

Our fellow attendees sprouted umbrellas, made improvised shelters with picnic blankets, sheltered under the tables or just ignored the rain in a stoic manner. Nothing was spoiling their fun!
