Weather on Thurs & Friday was lousy with us so we decided to move th eparty from back garden to an inside venue.  We eventually took up the offer from our local pub (THE YEW TREE) who said we could come in and use the bar - we could bring our own food and they agreed we could take our own wine as well.  

Spence & Lisa made us very welcome and they are excellent hosts in our local which is called The Yew Tree and is in Cam, Gloucestershire.  If you want a pleasant drink/night out with good evening entertainment the pay a visit.  Highly recomended - I understand they also have real ale on site.

An extra addition to the afternoon was that Spence and Lisa had jusy got a new puppy that morning - an 8 week old Exeter Spaniel and absolutely gorgeous dog.  He certainly was given a lot of attention but took it all in his stride.

Our friends arrived and very quickly eveyone was enjoying themselves.  Music in the background and we started serving the food.  Menu was:  Couq an Vin, Chicken in white win, Garlic chicken, Ham, Salad and snail casserole.  We had bread for wiping up the gravy and cheeses from many different areas of France.

We had decked the pub with French flags, banners, posters etc and it looked very good.  Vanessa was dressed as a clown waiter and I was dressed as a French maid.  Sadie our next dooor neighbour was a very sexy French female as was Vanessas friend Grace.  Neighbours Chrissie and Brian also dressed up.

The night was excellent and it was good to see friends and family having a good time.  Will put photographs on my web site tomorrow night - still very tired and going to bed soon.

Terry and  Denise very kindly donated £20 to my cycle - it is really appreciated.  Rebecca was also their with her new baby and you can see how lovelly she is at my photo site

Take care and stay safe
