An absolutely wondrous afternoon at Miss Lisa's parents' property for her and Mr Tasmania's engagement party.
Mr Tasmania is a fine man, and it was clear to see they are in love. Awwww. It was great to meet him, and it was also great to meet and to put faces to all the characters in her blog: it was as if a fairytale story of characters came to life. Miss Lisa was the only person I knew there when I arrived, but I left having met a great number of people throughout the afternoon: her family, relatives and friends are so loving, warm, joyful and funny, oh the stories and anecdotes!: it was a true joy to meet them. And her parents are simply wonderful: it is clear to see from where Miss Lisa gets her wonderful sense of humour as well as warm and loving personality.
The 44 gallon drum of fire proved very popular: there was a definite chill in the air and occasional gusts of wind that felt like they came from the Antarctic. A very fine spread of food, from kebabs to pizzas to chicken to pasta to salads, tempted all and sundry: and then there was the cake...or cakes more properly...yum! Dinner won't be featuring tonight.
May God bless you and Mr Tasmania Miss Lisa, and may He grant you many, many years!
