A 70th Wedding Anniversary Celebration

No!  Not ours, but my Aunt and Uncle's.  Here's the happy couple in 1946.  I was actually at the wedding (oops, given the game away there!) but not in this particular group photo.

My cousin Di put together a team of great friends who made a superb meal and the celebration was held in a friend's barn.   My Uncle isn't too well, but he managed to enjoy himself I hope.  My Aunt is in great form (they're both 94 years old) and was going from table to table checking up on people and  made a short speech! 

We caught up with old friends of my cousin's, made plans for a family get together and then drove back to Southwold.   The following day it was back to the grindstone!  Rupert arrived with his power screwdriver and put up a bed, then he got out the chain saw and started on the old falling down trees in the garden!   As my Uncle remarked yesterday, "Using a chain saw is fun, but you have to clear it all up afterwards!" Indeed!
