PARTY TIME . . .
Over this weekend, Sheldon and I have attended two lovely family parties. A wedding and a 4 year old birthday. The wedding was a lovely afternoon - a little thundery but warm - where our friends Laura and Toby were wed in the Shoreditch Townhall. The reception was held in the Museum of Gardening - a disused church next to Lambeth Palace - the Archbishop of Cantabury's London palatial home! It was great fun to end up IN the church for the party rather than the other way around. The Church where we partied is now the Gardening Museum. But it has a couple of interesting residents - dead ones though. Captain William Bligh, his wife Elizabeth and some of his children! What an unusual find. . . He was exonerated apparently for "loosing" the Bounty as it seems he was more interested in collecting specimens of Bread fruit rather than look after his crew. . . His grave now recognizes this fact rather than recognize his governors efforts in Australia or his lost crew!

Back to the parties, Evan, our neighbor's young child turned 4, so we were invited to celebrate a very subterranean party with a few of his friends from the local school and neighbor's. He loved all the subterranean toys and the cake, and the friends! Did I say we are going to miss the Richards family like hell! We off to Greece today. . .can't wait to eat Greek food, sit on and in the Med, and to drink cld Mythos Beer. Very Shirly Valentine!
