Hi Jerry,
how lovely to hear about your weekend, sounds like wonderful music.
We had a very busy weekend, Billy was 60 so I planned a suprise party. Had to keep him out of the house all day on Saturday while we put up a marquee in the garden, he came home to 26 family and a three course dinner. Wow was he speechless! Then on Sunday we had a bar b q for 75, luckily the weather held, we have had a dreadful summer in the UK this year! The whole weekend went off really well considering he told me he did not want a party or any fuss!It is a shame that his sisters are all in New Jersey and do not come to England but I think my large family made up for them not being here.
How I kept the secret I do not know, I had food and wine hidden all over the house and had to cook in the evenings while he was asleep in front of the television.
Pete are you the same Pete that was at the Waddon Folk Club in the 70's? If you are, I am the Wendy that lived in Maidstone and the little boy Christopher that you did a party with Shadow puppets for is now a daddy himself aged 35 and sings" I had a little brother, his name was Tiny Tim" to his little boy Reuben! Happy days!
Wendy
