The fourth of July is celebrated in America as " Independence Day" but in our family it marks the wedding anniversary of Paul and Michelle . Never more so than this year. Their "Silver Year" Their 25th Anniversary no less.
So it was that last weekend Sunday 10th July we gathered at " Santos Higham Farm Hotel" for a family reunion and celebration lunch.
The "Lunch" had been postponed from the "official " date in order to allow members of the family to gather from the corners of the globe .
Namely, for Jessica to return from Melbourne, Australia. It was touch and go as even then she only landed in the U.K on Saturday morning.
