Ashnah was at last able to
make it to this event, having missed the first one last year – the trip there was a veritable adventure in itself and as I’m no driver, the most I can tell
you is that the number of roundabouts around Reading is enough to give a saint
headaches! But make it we did and you can’t imagine our delight at alighting
from Kay’s car!
Unusually, this shindig
was taking place in the afternoon but its informality was simply brilliant and
unique. We walked in to a community
centre filled with familiar and friendly faces, and tables set with cups of
teas and tea pots and the catering corner filled with home-made cakes and
biscuits! There was no programme, no
slots to be booked, simply a 'find-a-partner and get-up-and-dance' attitude. In the course of the afternoon, Shereen and
Thurstan showed up and it did us all a power of good to see them both – our
heartfelt congratulations to the new parents and a warm welcome to their son
Cillian. We had a blast and it was an
absolutely uplifting afternoon – thanks Nirzari for the hospitality xx
