SAT 9.03.2013: Many, many, many discussions had been held regarding a party to celebrate Carole's "O" birthday. Decision was made that it was on Sybil's Bucket List so - yes to the party, a red, black and white theme (for no particular reason), and we would cater for the event at home. Thought process was fine when only 5 acceptances had been received, when numbers blew out to 40 plus panic set in - you really do not anticipate a 99% acceptance rate! The day dawned and fortunately we were able to work with the Dry Weather Plan A - Carole with the help of our friends Judy and John worked efficiently throughout the morning, Sybil spent most of the time in denial of the impending event! Everyone arrived (what felt like at the same time), and we realised that we had not seen some of the guests for well over 10 years. Mostly impressed that no-one had aged nor gained any inches!
Had an absolutely superb day and although we would have liked to spend more time with people it was good to catch up. Karen O'Shea serenaded us and the afternoon seemed to fly - the cake made by another friend June was cut and speeches made. No we will not be undertaking any further parties, but so glad we decided to have this one.
