last weekend was the 40 year anniversary of the arrival of my dad and his best pal in australia... they came here as ten pound poms on the MV Aurelia back in 1966, we celebrated in style with a meal from one of the original ship menus...
and reminisced with a slide show, for which we had old fashioned mixed lolly bags...
a lovely time was had by all...

Ohhh... asparagus rolls! And I'm intrigied by the tray under them. Do we get a full picture?
What a lovely thing to celebrate! Love the lolly bags... and you've managed to make even asparagus rolls look beautiful - it's a gift!
I love these pictures, and this post. The photos look like something out of Martha Stewart. Really nice compositions.
What a great story and photos! Happy anniversary to your dad!
What a fabulous idea! Congratulations to your Dad and his friend.
Your photos are BEAUTIFUL!! Happy anniversary to your dad and his pal!!
What does a "mixed lolly bag" mean? My American slang would suggest it means a bag with candy and goodies? The simplicity of what you've put together is again lovely.
Hello there, I love this posting... we're off to a similar party for the parents of a close friend... from Germany many years back. Cheers, g
