Well that was quite a do. There was a lunch time party on her Birthday proper 23/8, and then a serious bash on the Saturday 25/8. Mostly family but 'old' friends as well. The top table of 9 people had a combined age of over 700years. Speeches were kept to a minimum, much to everyone's relief. Mostly we concentrated on eating and drinking. There were over 50 people at the Roslyn Hotel in Thorpe Bay, Essex.
