Saturday evening I arrived outside the church just a little early, so took a short drive arounf the estate. It reminded me of the estate in Hadleigh, across the main road from where I grew up. the houses are built well back, with lots of grass. The roads curve, but the houses don't, they are in straight lines at 90 degree angles. It looked quite nice, with no obvious signs of vandalism.
Inside the hall I was greeted enthusiastically by Bob, and introduced to a number of people. They are very friendly and eager to talk to me. Bob kept everyone up to date with the slight delays, and eventually said grace, so we could start eating. The food was served to us by two of the younger people. Lasangne, salad, and bread from the local baker. A very nice meal. Then followed country dancing this was called by Bob 'barn dance style'. There was a little reluctance, but a lot of people joined in, especially as there wasn't that much space. The evening finished at 9:30, and most people had left by about 9:45. An enjoyable evening - thanks to all concerned.
