We had such a entertaining time together with our friends and it was a great night with lovely Thai food, French champagne and every ones favorite towards the end of the night Brown brothers port.
The evening started of at home where our entire guest arrived for pre dinner drinks of beer for the boys and Moet for the girls. AS every one mingled and chatted, Trudi served delicious Mediterranean canapés with olives and cheeses.
AS the time for our reservation at the restaurant, Chili Jam in Concord approached we all left the house and as a parade made our way down our street and then to the main road where the restaurant is located. Chili Jam is one of the most popular restaurants in Concord and there was a line of maybe ten people waiting to go in so it was lucky we had this booked for a while and I must say I did feel like a celebrity Rock Star bypassing the entire queue and letting 30 of my friends do it too!
The food and the atmosphere were really fantastic and many of our friends commented on what a great dinner it was.
After the restaurant we made our way back to the house with the return journey a little side to side because of the great wine we had at dinner. Some people settled outside and some inside with many of the girls who were at the wedding 20 years ago reminiscing through our wedding video that Trudi put on.
For those who were driving and wanted an after dinner coffee we had espresso and ice cream called Affogato which is divine and for the diehards white and black port which was an awesome night cap. The last of the friends left about 2.30am and I must say we are blessed with some of the best friends people could have and Thank you to everyone for coming and for your lovely thoughts and gifts.
I did make it at up at 5.30am to take the girls to rowing but fell asleep in the car park for two hours while they rowed.
