We came up to the boat yesterday as we had been invited to
Andy and Helen's 30th Wedding Anniversary celebration in Aldridge today. We joined more than 50 other guests, including at least four other boaters, for a splendid buffet lunch with a looped slide show of pictures from the happy couple's life over the last three decades showing on a screen above the cake.
And what a cake! An iced
Wandering Bark …
… towing
The Jam Butty past a WildSide meadow.
We sat at a table with Adam and Adrian of
Briar Rose, Sandra of
Areandare and Bones of
Bones. It was excellent to see them all, and Andy and Helen, of course. Unfortunately some people didn't make it through the traffic in the London area, including Sue of
Indigo Dream.
Andy and Helen, thank you for granting us the privilege of being able to share in your celebrations.
The Aldridge Church Centre was a superb venue for the event; other guests included family (of course), members of the church and their book club friends.
And all less than 12 miles from our boat - very handy. We're back on board tonight and will visit Andrew in Sheffield on Monday.
