 |
| this is the view from the room where we held the party--isn't it stunning--its all lit up at night as well! |
 |
| I was able to use the original icing flowers that decorated our wedding cakes 10 years ago on my birthday cakes! They were still as good as new |
 |
| these beautiful flowers are from my lovely friends Jan and John---they were unable to come to the party as she has the flu---we are going to Matlock to visit them next month--cant wait ! |
 | |
| I was so pleased with how the room looked--Julie who organises the bar etc at the Rugby club is sooo helpful bless her--she made sure we had the right tables for the party--it looks much the same as it did for our wedding. |
 |
| tryed to get a photo of the huge moon that was behind the church when we arrived--but the photo hasn't come out very well--shame! |
 |
| our friends from Ludlow market! |
 |
| everyone admired the cakes! |
 |
| the pig roast went down a treat--many thanks to Griffiths the butchers---it was delicious! |
 |
| friends and neighbours! |
 |
| us with my son Jim |
 |
| Debbie from the market--she is a scream! |
 |
| as you can see! |
 |
| I would love to know what they were saying! |
 |
 |
| cheers Mick and Angus ! |
 |
| Becky and Wayne with some of the evidence of what was going on later in the evening--the helium balloons were deflated into mouths and there was a lot of Donald Duck talking going on--we were all creased at each other! |
 |
| is that trifle on your hands Becky! |
 |
| Next morning we were up and away with our friends to Bourton on the Water--we stayed here--at The Old Manse Hotel---it was lovely.... |
 |
| this was the view from our room--overlooking the river.. |
 |
| Bill trying out the huge 4 poster bed! |
 |
| we went on a guided tour of the Cotswold's Perfumery--very interesting it was too! |
 |
| had to catch up on emails and class bookings even though it was my birthday! |
 |
| plan was to go into the maze--however it was closed when we got there! So we went to the Bird zoo again instead.. |
 |
| a face only a mother could love! |
 |
| hello... |
 |
| she was loving this bless her |
 |
| handsome little bird |
 |
| love the reflections in the water |
 |
| beautiful little birds |
 |
| look at me--I can swim! |
 |
| these trout were huge |
 |
| more lovely fish and reflections--I will use this photo as a reference for a painting I think! |
 |
| this was a little cutie |
 |
| loved watching these little sparrow having bath in the river |
 |
| we had a bit of a party when we got back to the hotel room...... |
 |
| my lovely friend Karen sent me this card--so much thought has gone into it--we were creased when I opened it.I took all my cards with me to Bourton as it wasn't my birthday until Monday so I opened them all up there. |
 |
| having a laugh seeing just how strong the bed was! |
 |
| awwwwww |
 |
| we stopped at a great pub for lunch on the way to Bourton--it was so good we had a slight detour on the way home yesterday so e could call here again--the lamb shank was to die for! |
 |
| another detour was made to see just where the pub we are stopping at for the 3 day Welland show was. The view from outside it is just stunning--and we have been promised a room with the view so looking forward to that! |
