Dear Mel & Phil

What a pleasant surprise you arriving in the UK and not keeping us informed. All told with last moment arrangements it was great meeting up at Ben & Bet's. What a lovely day too with the sun shining all day.
Brian & Connie thanks for joining us at real short notice. Your company was greatly appreciated and as always Brian, you certainly give us a good laugh with your good jokes.
Added below are a few photographs for quick viewing.
Regards
Benny & Betty

Dear Mel & Phil, Brian & Connie, Raymond & Judy and Colin
Thank you all for joining us on Sunday 7th August hosting our guests Mel & Phil from Toronto Canada. It certainly was a wonderful group titled 'The England Connection' - and though Mel and Phil met up with our good friends for the first time, there was some connection in Mumbai and Calcutta making it more interesting. (Always some common ground when the A.I's meet).
Most surprisingly to our amazement the sun came out as you all arrived at 6.00 pm giving us a chance to sit on the open deck enjoying a few sundowners.
We certainly had fun all evening with plenty to talk about and laugh, followed by great fun after dinner with Betty's VODKA JELLIES competition. Did we have a winner, check out on the short video clips below. (Think we will have to meet up again to pick a winner!!)
The late night singing and dancing added to the fun with our specialist ballroom dancers and Raymond playing the Harmonica followed by Mel Gallagher Sinatra singing 'My Way' added to the entertainment rounding up at 1.30 am. (Only wish Betty had the camera set to video).
All of you certainly made it a great day and we will not fail to follow this up in the near future. Vodka Jellies not to be missed.
Thank you all once again for all your lovely gifts and kind messages.
As a token of rememberance of the fun Sunday, please click on the link below to view a slide show of some photographs and some short video clips. (As the video ran or over 14 minutes, I could only add it via my You Tube account.
Some photographs also added for quick viewing.
Best regards
Benny & Betty
