Time Flies when you're having Fun

 
So, where did those 45 years go???

Yesterday was our 45th Wedding Anniversary and, although we didn't want to broadcast it, we decided to use the opportunity to thank all of our friends who helped look after Sue when I had to spend time at my 'bootcamp' and all of the girls from the hospital who looked after Sue whilst she was bed-ridden at home.  It was a year since Sue first went into hospital and, by coincidence, it was also 6 years since we came to live in France. As you can see from the card above we didn't manage to keep it secret from everyone!

Sue and I didn't have much time to prepare for the 'do' as we only got back from Bilbao on Thursday evening and then we had to go shopping on Friday, which left Saturday and Sunday for cooking!
However, with a little help from JJ and Nadine we were just about ready when the first of our guests arrived.
After a few glasses of wine Sue gave a speech in English and French to explain all of the reasons for us wanting to celebrate!

I remembered to take a photo of the savouries before they all went, and of course, the puds drew lots of ooh ahh's.

The weather was kind for us and we were able to be outside all evening.

A memorable evening!
