Ann’s special birthday

We left the boat at Venetian Marina on the Shropshire Union canal near Crewe.  A taxi took us to the station and two trains got us down to Southampton.  We stayed a few days with Chris, Tracy and the boys.  Then it was off to the party where friends and family representing a lifetime all met us at a hotel in the New Forest at Lyndhurst.  Our thanks go to Chris who organised the music and Tracy who baked a tasty cake and did the decorations.  It was great to have our guests in one place so we could chat to them all.  We even managed a few dances with some of them.  Even Sue n Vic were there from No Problem.  So I got to dance with Sue as well!
