It would be so wonderful if someone could put forum names to those in the photos. Those who do not want to be mentioned that is fine.

Perfect. What a wonderful day. Thank you  all. It is if we were there without having to wash  up!

The world is getting smaller and smaller.

Who would have thought a lovely lady from England would have generated such interest. 

Take a bow CC. And a huge thank you to your family.

Thanks Deebub for posting the names, I was going to once my brain woke up!

Finally home and about to hop into bed, it's been a long day, but a great day.
Thanks again everyone.

DH and I are home. What a wonderful day. The meal was superb. Best Turkey DH and I have ever had.
There was a dessert trolley - mmmm. Gert, the wine was great, even DH had a glass and a big THANKYOU to Mandi and Bruce for all they did.

To the very generous Ral and Chookie - what wonderful folk to invite us into your beautiful home. It was a real treat to meet you all.  ;D ;D
