I don't really know how to tell the story of our evening celebrating Nev's 70th on the farm other than the world this night through my own eyes...
every where I looked I saw joy!
Our family and friends were so sweet and complimentary about the changes we have made on the farm and the progress of the house...
the music was perfect, low and slow during cocktails, appetizers and dinner and then ramped up a notch or threee in tempo and noise, inviting us onto the dance floor, Jill and Bruce being the first ones out there...
the team of El Viejo were able to pull off serving all 46 of us at the same time and, while we waited for the food to be prepared and served, the wine carafes were emptied and enjoyed as Mike P gave a speech about my honey and his most amazing life...
Old MacDonald was sung in true South African rugby style...
homemade mango ice-cream and avocado ice-cream were served for dessert...
the drinks and the laughter flowed freely and we had the best time ever!!
Thank you to everyone who flew in for the occasion and to our local friends who filled our table, literally to overflowing, much to my embarrassment, though no-one else seemed to care!
And there, ever present through the night, was Nev's great big beautiful grin!
Happy birthday my love, for one last time!!
