Yesterday was the now annual inter-village tug-of-war between Otterford (which encompasses Bishopswood) and Buckland St Mary. It was a glorious sunny day so we were lucky in that department.
Unfortunately there was also cricket going on in Buckland so some people didn’t turn out for the tug-of-war and the Buckland team were a bit short on the ground. Neil went along and eventually they just evened the teams up with the men who turned out to make it fairer.
Neil was sensible enough to wear gloves so he had could contact with the rope. The position they had chosen to do the tug-of-war was on a slight hill and what kept happening was that the team pulling down hill always won. So in the end they called in a draw!!
Then we sat on the grass in the sunshine having a BBQ and drinking home made elderflower cordial, lovely!!
