Anniversary Weekend

I seem to have not stopped since i flew to Newcastle on Thursday 23rd October to celebrate my Parents 50th wedding anniversary with family.
We had the flowers to pick up and the cake, we had to dress the room as best we could and make it look presentable with the gold tablecloths i had made in Pakistan, we had the banner to go up which i paid for and the music to sort out, balloons to blow up and that was just the half.
I took my parents to Lumley castle on the Friday for dinner,it is an exclusive dinner venue set in a real Castle, very expensive but they are worth every penny.
We had a great meal and chatted non stop.
The Saturday was party day and all i can say it was lovely to see everyone under happy circumstances.
The meal was lovely with a menu of:-

Pate
Vegetable Soup
Braised Steak with Veg
Apple Pie with Cream or Ice Cream
Cheese and Biscuits
Coffee/Mints

It was all piping hot and tasted lovely.

Dad's music system using his I-Pod was fantastic and diner music, dancing music was superb.

With the stuff i bought to help out for the party, gifts of £1000.00 and the purchase of their new car it worked out a very expensive weekend of about £16500.00

I also got to see the X factor when i got home on Sunday so did not miss a thing, pleased Scott has been eliminated, he is a moody arse!!

Hope you like the party photographs.
