The last time I went to a housewarming party, it was quite an intimate affair (and Carol had to keep urging people to try the nibbles, because they were too busy talking).
This time, it seemed as if half of Hay were there!
Lucy was enthroned on the sofa in the front room, with minions bringing her plates of food and drink, and it was a good job Susie and John had asked people to help out by bringing nibbles, because it looked as if the gannets had gathered!
John looked very smart in an evening shirt and bow-tie, and Susie looked elegant in an evening dress.
I'd been downstairs in the house before, when Di Blunt had the house, but John and Susie were allowing people to have a nose around upstairs as well. It's a very elegant Georgian house, and apart from a bathroom having been put in on the first floor, it's very little changed from what it must have looked like originally. Strangely, on the outside it seems quite a broad house, while inside it seems much narrower and taller.
One lady who was there remembered the house when it belonged to Robert Williams and Co. In those days the accountant had his study on the ground floor.
Sandra Havard said she wished she'd brought her events diary with her - she'd taken three booking for the Travellers Club during the evening!
It was a wonderful evening - I'd say the house is well and truly warmed!

We saw you, Lesley, but never managed to say hello, there were so many people! What's the Travellers Club?
The Travellers Club runs day trips, and sometimes weekends away, by coach - very reasonably priced. If anyone's interested, I think the best place to ask would probably be the little office next to the dentist's that does all the community support work.
