Must just precis last weekend, as it was pretty hectic:-
Friday morning - We met up with friend Jenny from Bedfordshire at cafe church. Had coffee and croissants, and nattered for an hour and a half (not really enough). Then Jenny continued her journer to North Suffolk, and we climbed into the car and drove over to the midlands, and stayed with Carl and Judy. Saturday morning to old friend's antique shop, and did small amount of business. On Saturday afternoon, Ann, Judy, and meself, in car and drove to Wolverhampton. To son Jonathan's. His partner Jude had arranged a party to celebrate his fortieth birthday, together with the twenty first birthday of her daughter Margaret, and the eleventh birthday of her daughter Tia (all the birthdays having fallen in the previous week). Out for a meal at a huge old pub called the Oddfellows, where we met lots of Jude and Jonathan's friends, and also, some of our youngsters. The above photo shows the back view of senior daughter Sarah, then left to right, Lucy, Liz, Judy, Jonathan, Ann (with Jonathan's Jude behind her, and Mikey. It was a lovely evening. On Sunday slacked about, did the Prize crossword in the Telegraph, then in the evening made a last minute bid (at very short notice) to contact fellow blogger 4D's to arrange a get together, and by a miracle, succeded. Results of this will be detailed in our next.

A reasonable amount of people around a table will almost invariably result in a good time.
The smiles have it!
I do agree with you, 4Ds. I must add that these days if we give a dinner party, after the meal I do try to keep everyone chatting round the table, mainly because I find it so much easier to hear people on the opposite side of a table, rather than scattered around a drawing room.
Cheers, Mike.
