Getting back to the going on's of the last few weekends, this one saw us gathering for Vanessa's 40th celebrations. Her parents had arrived a couple of weeks ago and her brother, Fraser, arrived that Saturday morning. My folks, her uncle n aunty were there as well (as you may have gathered), so it was quite a family gathering that saw us in a cosy café/bar in Marylebone for dinner.
It wasn't long after we'd finished dining when her friends started to join us for a fun night of drinking and keeping the celebration alive until the venue closed. The arrival of Zara n Jarrett continued the family numbers, which considering that we were all in London was just very cool.
In true style, Vanessa, her friend, Amy, and myself continued on for a few more drinks until that venue closed at some time in the early morning.

This gave us a bit of a slow-ish start to the Sunday where all the family members got
together again for a lunch at the Windsor Castle pub in Notting Hill. No blue doors in sight, but it was a nice warm day which made for life in the leafy beer garden just perfect. We were joined by Steve n Eileen to make it one of the biggest family gatherings we'd had for some time, and certainly the biggest in England since (we think) Steve's wedding back in the 60's. Regardless of that, it was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon in that beer garden.
