This last weekend I went home for the weekend. It was a very flying and fleeting visit; I touched down in Southend at 4:10pm Saturday afternoon and left again at 7:10pm Sunday evening.
The main purpose for my visit home was to attend a
drinks party organised by two very good and close friends of ours who were
celebrating being together for 20 years. Twenty
years! That is a mighty long time and when the invitation arrived I knew
that, without a doubt, we would be at the gathering come hell or high water.
Now in a slight oversight on my part (and that of
my husband’s – but mainly mine) I had no car insurance meaning I couldn’t drive
to the party. We couldn’t get a lift as everyone
else – parents and sister – was already out. The train was just a looooooooong mission, so the only option
was to jump in a cab……..laden with Champagne, Rose wine and some red…..maybe
not being able to drive wasn’t such a bad thing after all.
Unsurprisingly the food, drink and hospitality were
first class and a perfect time was had by all. Thank you Charlotte and Mark for
a gorgeous evening and congratulations again on reaching such a wonderful
milestone. Here’s to the next twenty………
