The former estate schoolhouse directly overlooks Strangford Lough; Portaferry Road is a mere several yards in front.
The Gothic style windows are mainly original, though there is secondary glazing.
There must have been about fifteen of us altogether.
Phil kindly brought a home-made game pie; Anna, delicious home-made ginger cake; while I brought some salad, coleslaw, mustard dip and cocktail sausages. Rosie and Nick brought vol-au-vents; while others supplied various nibbles.
There was plenty for all of us. Many of us were driving, so I stayed off the Devil's Brew.
After the grub, some of us retired to the sitting-room, where we had a natter.
I managed to fill two sacks of logs in the yard to bring home.
