Livin' On a Prayer in Osertheurfermuthfersley

by CD Carpe Diem!

"Livin' on a Prayer",
hey we boogied 'til dawn,
donned in our garb,
not tattered or torn.
Yep, dressed to the nines,
to kill (some would say),
as "Build Me Up Buttercup"
ranted away.
The whiff of per-fume
was lofty indeed,
as wine bottles downed
really DID exceed
our hostel's friendly expectations,
causing wobbly limbs
(...and some flirtations).
So all-in-all
a beltin' 'do',
thanks Claudette,
Deka, Andy too.
And now we wend
our way once more,
with happy dreams
of friends....
Amour X

We're really touched (I know!) that everyone enjoyed it so much, had a laugh and left with such good memories- we did too! Andy was wondering if we should do it all again next year but could we really top this one?!!

Carpe Diem! 01/07/2014 22:03

Thoroughly enjoyed my Saturday bimble and the ball. Great to see everybody in their finery. Company was great and as for the evening's entertainment, I'm not quite sure where to start (or if it's best left undisturbed!) Thanks for organising such a fab event.

Deka 30/06/2014 13:55

"Sleep and detox", can't understand the need for any catch up๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜‰

Elderflower 30/06/2014 13:01
