Barn Dance Report

Thought you might like to hear about last night's barn dance (Barb's
retirement from Guiding). Well a good time was had by all, good music,
dancing and plenty of food.
I danced every dance - Noreen danced nearly all of them .
Met lots of old (in both senses of the word) friends, had a good natter
and was given lots of pressies for my retirement and also for my
birthday (just a bit early)
I had a fluffy toy dog, a Happy Birthday rose tree, Travel Scrabble, and
a cup which said
Seen it all
Done it all
Can't remember most of it
There was also a balloon saying Happy retirement and a big
birthday/retirement cake decorated with a blue trefoil (the guide
symbol)
I had let it be known that I prefer my flowers growing in the garden
rather than in a bouquet but they gave me a floral decoration
Picture here (minus the cake)

I was then presented with my 20 year service bar
A silver friendship brooch from the District
and a Thank You badge from Gloucester Division
The photo isn't as clear as it might have been but it is here
