Party Time

Our friend and neighbour Roger has a big birthday this weekend. So big, that after 40 years shoeing racehorses, he is hanging up his hammer and burning his apron. He's shod some good horses. National winners, Hallo Dandy (1984) and Lucius (1978) along with many other great names. Titus Oates, One Man, Better Times Ahead, Monet's Garden - the list goes on.
Obviously this End of An Era had to be celebrated, and Roger's Son and Daughter in Law decided to throw a party to mark the Occasion. As there were going to be lots of people coming to the area from afar, it was decided that a 'Night before' party was needed at Roger and Lois' last night.
Our contribution to the nights festivities...............

A couple of Celebratory cakes.
Today was a mammoth affair. After a Birthday Toast at 11.15am, 14 of us boarded a mini bus to take us over to the party where we (and about 75 others) were wined and dined all afternoon. Finally arriving home by minibus this evening.
Where was Her Ladyship while we were out all day eating and drinking? She was next door with her Aunty C, Uncle G and Uncle N. She feels so at home there, she just curls up and goes to sleep. In the Laundry basket apparently!
