N’s Sports Party at Abbey
Newly wed N is a web designer and keen cyclist, traveler and doing Kinetic-sculpture as well. (hence we met many years ago on an art event). In fact, he had Stag-do in the south coast, doing canoeing etc with his old baddies weeks ago as well.
So, when I arrived to the Abbey, I was greeted by his fancy dancing. 😀
As I was warned, this party was not a kind of eat, drink and catch-up chattering but quite physical. 😀
I don’t know the name of this game, still, there is an almost identical game in Japan but played only by the kids.
Sports party though, it’s still a family occasion, N’s mum and dad and of cause his wife and her sister D were all there enjoying the company.
This game (photo above) said to be called “Sheep stack in the mud ” = may be Japanese equivalent of Oni-gokko” 🙂
On such sporting occasion, photographer shouldn’t be just an observer = gone to more pro-active. (or a bit naughty ? ! = to inflate size D to FF) — no, not me, lens did 😀
Then egg on the spoon race. Though, some confusion of the rules —– spoon on a hand or on the mouth ?
And the Prize giving ceremony = of Gold, Silver or Copper. 😀
In the same time, yet another activity which was a bit more intellectual research and the interview was carried out by D as she was a student of London Uni’
So, the party went on till sunset. It was a fantastic day and a nice quiet evening.

I am not much into sport, but I can always enjoy a party, and party pictures. Especially love tha last one… 🙂
I thought, you are a kind of running, jumping, dancing people 😀
I like the situation to be involved (and do a silly things together 😀 )
Thank you for your comment.
The fish eye lens is fun! Great shots.
Thank you Karen.
With my eye-sight that lens is easiest to use.
No critical framing nor focusing. Ha ha ha 😀
