A party for 100 - No Problem!

The biggest obstacle to a member of Sarah’s family hooking up with a “life partner” occurred on Sunday – The Armstrong Christmas party. At about 4PM about 100 Armstrongs rocked up for their annual get together. For any prospective partner this is a daunting initiation into the Armstrong family. As you turn up there are these hordes of people interested in finding out about you. Some family members still don’t turn up on occasion – you know who you are Alan B.

When Sarah volunteered to have it she didn’t know there were so many people coming. However it was not that much hassle. It was a good chance to clean some parts of the house (for the first time in seven years). The party was well organised by Pip Murphy – all those years on the MBA and working as a management consultant finally being put to good use. Everyone bought food and drink, we did not need to provide anything.

Justine organised some of the little cousins to do a concert. Simon was all talk but was overcome with nerves before doing his big number.
