Richard started planning this party in January, and contacted lots and lots of our friends to let them know about it. It started at our house at 2pm ish (actually I was a bit late as Steff and I got distracted by Gaby Roslin in Montezumas chocolate shop on their way back to the house!!). We spent the afternoon eating and drinking, before moving off to Curve in the North Laines at 7pm for dinner. A very enjoyable day, and No, I suspected nothing. I had no idea of what he'd been organising, although there are now a few things that make a bit more sense! Thanks to all who came and spent the day with us. And apologies to those who we don't have photos of, this includes Steff...
