The Party was in the New Inn Pub, Roydon, a beautiful old Pub. After drinks (or three) we sat down to Shepherds Pie, Guinness Pie and - as the picture shows - some delicious birthday cake. It was such a great evening, and as always I ate too much.
Tim and David Burrowes (an old school friend), proceeded to make some speeches about my more youthful days, perhaps revealing a little too much!! One of the nicest moments was when Vanda received a big bunch of flowers from a friend of mine who was unable to come. They are so huge, we have had to put them in a salad bowl. I shall have to buy a vase pronto!!
All in all it was such a wonderful evening and I hope to post more photos at a later point. Last night, I felt a very lucky and happy chap. Great friends, a special girlfriend, a party in a fantastic village Pub and a vocation that is a passion.
P.S. - to my friends - please note word 'amazing' is not mentioned once in this post above.
P.P.S. Thank you to all my friends- and Tim especially for an AMAZING evening.
