Our 30th wedding anniversary

Our 30th wedding anniversary took place a few days after we returned from Grenada. We were not quite in the mood to celebrate it then, and did so the following week. This meant that our friends Peter and Katherine Camp, who came to stay for  few days, would be able to join us. We took the opportunity to get friends together and also thank those who had helped us in so many ways with our work in Grenada.

We hired the Pool Bar at Crews Inn for drinks beforehand, and then those who wanted to (which turned out to be almost everyone) joined us for dinner at Joe's, a local pizza/pasta house. Peter Camp kindly took these photographs - so he does not appear!

"No presents" was the order of the day and so we were surprised (and very touched) to be given, by the assembled company, a night's stay at the wonderful Asa Wright Wildlife Centre in Trinidad - which you will be able to read about elsewhere on the site.
