I see you'd go for the roast beef sandwiches and horseradish (love it!) .. but I try and eat lighter things for lunch .. so I had the salad and dips - actually I tried a lot of things - but then it was our party!<br /><br />It meant people were able to meet up with friends they hadn't seen for a while or actually had never met - but that connection was there ... I definitely did. That's what I set out to do .. bring that connectivity in ..<br /><br />@ Sue - well she'd guided me for many a year ... and I'm sure she was around for us .. and she'd said this was the sort of send off she'd wanted .. <br /><br />Lovely to see you both here - Davina and Sue .. thanks so much - cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401528799218373095.post-14928247789126298642012-10-19T01:07:01.463+01:002012-10-19T01:07:01.463+01:00Delicious!
