Mum's 50th birfday
Afternoo all, Waj back again!
I went to the V.E.T last week, went to sleep for a short while and when I woke up Mum and Dad fetched me home. Not too sure what they did while I was asleep but I was a bit stiff for a couple of days but am now back to normal, galloping round and kicking up the grass again! Anyway, glad to get back to blogging again and hear that Phoebe kept you up to speed while I was away. A few weeks ago I did promise you a picture of the wedding hat, so now it's been downloaded from the phone, here it is.........................................................
As you are aware, it was Mum's 50th birthday at the weekend and we had lots of friends come to stay for a big party. Well, the party was going to be held in the marquee, but due to the inclement weather and the gale force winds (which would have bought the marquee down before we'd even started!) at the last minute it was decided to have it in the bottom barn where Gizmo the horse lives.
Well, this barn had not been touched for about 7 years since Mum and Dad moved to the farm and to say it was filthy and full of rubbish was a bit of an understatement. If you'd have seen the cobwebs, they were about 10 foot thick! So off they go clearing the rubbish out. They were there all day Friday had a huge fire and loaded the trailer and the van to go to the tip. Chris (Mr Yeti with the Beastly Beasts) helped out and at the end of the day they were all knackered! Luckily for them, Gill, Chris's partner had cooked them dinner. Thanks Anty Gill!
Saturday was the same, more clearing and shovelling gravel this time assisted by some of Mum's friends, Eddie, Gary, Chris again, Andy and Jason and his girlfriend Carly. The barn was then very ablely decorated by Hilary and Bev so thanks to all who helped. The band was ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT we dogs could hear the festivities from the house and I can tell you they were good!I'm sure you'll want to see some pictures so here they are.
Unwrapping the biggest present from Gill and Chris...... can you see what it is yet?
Can't get in it, so employs a penknife...................................................
Ahhhh, it's a weathervane!
Another present, this time from cousin Pete and Phil. You can tell she hasn't had one before cos she's got it back to front!!
Dad stuffing his face.........................
The highlight of the evening, Uncle Andy suggestively riding the horse to the tune of Mustang Sally, closely followed by Gill and Granny Barbara, with her dodgy hips!!!!
They had a bubble machine.................................
The band were great.................................. and stayed the night!
Kerry and David who travelled all the way from Sheffield for the weekend on a big yellow motorbike in all the wind and rain...............................they must be maaaad!
Mum and Chris.....................................dig the suit and bowtie!
Mum, Chris and Chris, confused? You may recognise Anty Chris from the holiday in Cornwall post when Faith the whippet went to Lands End.
Mum and her friend Anty Sue who has Grace and Paddy whippet having a bump and grind.........
Andy being Andy!!!!!!!!!!!!
So all in all it was a great night as we dogs had a late night run round the paddock as they were up till 3am chatting with the band. Only casualty of the evening was Phoebe who got locked outside the bottom gate when everyone eventually went to bed so had to spend the night in the barn!! My humans are daft!!
