We spent this weekend in Kent at Pip’s parents’ house, celebrating their Ruby Wedding Anniversary. Congratulations, Sally & David!
The house was full, there were motorhomes in the paddocks, campers in the garden, and a jazz band in the bolt-hole. Archbishop Desmond Tutu and his wife Leah were the guests of honour, and in the Saturday night barbecue competition they chose my burgers over all others.
Sunday was a church service, then some memorable speeches and a lunch, accompanied by Jo’s Mother Hubbard’s Traditional Jazz Band, and the London Adventist Chorale.
On the Monday I took some formal photos, then Pip, Gin, Laurie and I went to the beach at Broadstairs with Venetia and Dave and their four boys. I swam in the sea for probably the last time this year (and the only time in Britain!)
The rest of the photos are here.
Update 22nd July 8:15 – Pip took some (weird false colour) videos. They’re on YouTube here, here and here.
