What a night it was! What a surprise.
Marion arrived v early @ Heathrow. Marilyn and I decided to stop over but as we were only going to be there, and sleeping, a few hours we went for the cheap, and hopefully cheerful, Easyhotel. OK if you just stopping over prior to a flight out, but it’s half acre of plastic pod en suites, toilet/bathrooms designed by First Great Western in Stavros orange, permanent green night light and noisy air con (due to the lack of windows) is not conducive to a good nights sleep.
Still all went well – apart from the ‘welcome home’ balloons that took off with the wind over Heathrow probably downing a coupla jets on their way :-0
At the bash Julie was busy organising things in the kitchen. Fortunately guests were arriving by the side entrance to the village hall. We sneaked Marion into the front porch unnoticed. Got Julie sitting down with her back to the porch, on the mobile thinking she was talking to Marion in Rwanda. When she turned round, well, the result can be seen in the opening scene of the enclosed video clip :)
