Celebrations #2

The second part of Mum and Dad's 150th birthday celebrations took place in Amanda's garden on Sunday afternoon - her first garden party in her new-ish house.  We'd collectively all spent a few weeks before hand chopping back shrubs and trees, bagging up weeds, tidying up and planting the garden to get it ship shape for the occasion.  And a few more relatives turned up that couldn't make it to the Saturday night meal.  

More nonsense ensued - we had crochet lessons; we had a sing song; we had enough food to make packed lunches for us for the whole week; and we had a modelling session with what was actually a cushion and NOT a hat!   We don't care, we'll wear anything!

A really lovely afternoon - lots of fun.   This is the second year in a row that we've had a garden party - last year I had a jubilee party at my house where we all got rigged up with Royal Family masks which was pretty hysterical.  I'm wondering whether we might have unknowingly instigated another family tradition?
