The day after we returned from our holiday we had
arranged for a party for Sue’s 50th birthday to be held at the new
wine bar come deli Bertram Bees that is in our village. It is a lovely
renovated pub with a fresh and bright feel to it and with added coffee and
cakes.
With our guests we basically took over the bar and the
garden and the sun shone as we drank and ate and caught up with friends and
family.
The staff looked after us very well with fresh
platters of nibbles coming around on lovely olive wood boards.
Live music was provided by Andy & Mags, a duo we
had seen perform at the bar before. They judge the mood of the room brilliantly
starting with easy listening background music as we chatted and ate and built
up to a good foot stomping gig at the end.
Inspired by a cake we had seen made for a friend of
ours in NZ Carole and family made a thoroughly amazing Steampunk affair of
multiple layers cumulating in a feathered hat and lace bodice with bass cogs
and gears. It was quite the centre piece of the party.
Sue was quite overwhelmed with the loads of wonderful
presents and absolutely masses of cards that she received and some close
friends gave money to help us buy a dream patio-furniture set that featured an
interchangeable ice bucket come fire pit come BBQ grill in the middle.
