before and after the party
Most people started to arrive in Macclesfield on Saturday, although Gareth, Rob and Matt arrived Friday night and got an early taste of the hospitality at the Merchants house.
The whole afternoon was a bit of a blur, with hurried last minute preperations trying to get the meal sorted for the relatives before the party
The meal went well, thanks again to Arnie for the beef, and Phil for the Kitchen.
On Sunday many of us met up for a walk around the park and a quasi-game of rounders, before Beth and I took out mothers to the Windmill for a Mother's day lunch.
