The Holiday continues ....

Saturday 18th May continued ....

The rain eased off while we had our coffee and cakes at Witley Court, from where we headed off to the family reunion at The Masons Arms, Wichenford.

The event had been organized by our great niece Martine and what a fantastic get together it was!!

Lots of family that we hadn't seen for a number of years and amazing to see young adults that we last saw as children. Lots of  old photographs appeared and bits of hand written family tree information to go in the collection. Laughter and reminiscing were the order of the day.
There was even a lovely birthday cake for brother-in-law Ray who was to be 90 years old on the following day.

It really was a great day. Lovely to have time with Johan and Jim who came across from Sweden just for this occasion. It was also great to see my sister Joy and her husband Alan, residents of USA, who just happened to be on holiday in the UK at this time.

If my records are correct there was 47 of us at the event.  Well done and a big thank you to Martine.
