My mum and dad have been married for 50 years (as of yesterday) and we will have been married for 25 years on the 25th. More than enough reasons to celebrate - it feels like a huge achievement these days. And boy did we celebrate. 40 ish guests for a BBQ in our garden, family and friends, young and old. Good food, good wine, good fun. Of course there was the inevitable last minute panic when stuff wasn't as ready as I'd planned but it all came together in the end and it must have been good because Graham, Paul's older brother, fell asleep, fulfilling his role as the elder of the clan, taking on his father's mantle (it wasn't a good party if George didn't go to sleep!!!)
Some lovely presents too - although it wasn't about gifts, it was about presence, talking of which there were a few friends missing (and you were missed).
And now its 12 days until Mauritius :D
