Double Celebration

The birthday girl - Kylie taking a last look at preparations.
Cooking a barbeque in the rain - typical.

This about the best photo I have of Emma and Donna - my apologies.


The lineup - Terry, Brian, Garry, Walter, Nola, Margaret.




Brian and Morag looking very happy.
We had a double celebration during the last weekend - Kylie's 40th and Raphy's Welcome to the World party. It was a great occasion, made all the more special because Kylie had the Cook side of the family visiting from Australia. (Brian, Terry, Morag, Margaret and Garry). We started with dinner (a delicious pork dish) on Thursday evening, Indian on Friday evening and the party on the Saturday. Celebrations continued on the Sunday but unfortunately Walter and I had to leave because we needed to get home early in order to travel to Heathrow. It rained most of the weekend but spirits were not dampened at all. Kylie cooked all of the food for the party, lots of delicious tarts and soups plus sausages for the children. There were lots of children, mostly girls from Mia and Abi's school plus a few token boys. The marque looked fantastic - sparkly lights, lots of sunflowers and bunting. I have included some photos - the best ones were taken by Scott, which I did not have time to download before I left.
We collected Brian and Terry from Gatwick and they travelled to Norwich in the motorhome.
