The Iron Heart 20th Anniversary Party

Finally getting a chance to come up for air, and I must (as briefly as possible) say some thank yous - not going to even attempt individual shout-outs, I would be typing all week…
Firstly to everyone thanking me and Giles, you are very kind but I must make it clear that whilst I have spearheaded the planning for previous events, this year it was all down to Alex and his team, who did the most amazing job of planning and delivering the biggest and (IMHO) best ever (yet) Iron Heart party, thank you all for doing such a great job and working so hard.
Most importantly to each and everyone one of you who came from far and wide to celebrate with us, we are truly humbled and delighted, Giles and I can't even begin to say what a truly fabulous time we had with you all.

Thank you, Giles. Glad you like the pics.
We think the wine was this one:
Yeah! That's the one. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing the pics @don_pipone, they are brillant. And great talking to you and @weftyarn.
@EdH:
@don_pipone thanks for sharing the Google drive! Great pictures.
Thank you guys! Much appreciated.
It was great meeting all of you too! -
Deal @hajduk! Next time it will happen.
Count me in. To be clear, it could be only me sans wife if it’s during the school year. It was tricky for her to take off. I wanted to give you fair warning since all of you likely prefer her to me anyway (and rightly so).

@Alex and I were discussing earlier today, one of our decision criteria will be school holidays…..

That’s a superb fit @Signal11
Thanks. She likes it a lot!
Btw, Gavin, is it?
Saturday I learned you had something to do with the 888 cut?I did, but i was drunk at the time
I’d hardly call pissing yourself whilst wearing a pair of pants “having something to do with it.”
They were lucky i wore pants, a rareity ???

Excellent notion. Next time we’d like to take the girls to stay with their Papa instead of him coming here. I feel like we just returned from a tornado evacuation. ::) He did replace our kitchen faucet though!
My girl was def happy to see me.

I'm wondering what kind of things we'll come home to next week, after having the grandparents there with the kids for 10 days. Things like, "we noticed you only had a few bath towels, so we bought you a couple new sets" or "your bed pillows seemed a little old so we bought you new ones" or something.
Already got the call that they couldn't get the wifi to work, so they went and bought a new modem and router…
Can't imagine all the new toys the boys will likely have as well.

Yeah, for us it was more like We gave the dog some watermelon and she had diarrhea all over kennel then sat in it for 6 hours.

It's hard to find any news words to describe this weekend, since all previous posters have summed it up quite perfectly. However, lets make it short: WHAT A BLAST!
I felt exactly like @ARNC
@ARNC:Today certainly feels weird. I had to check my wardrobe when I got up and the pics on here for confirmation that this weekend actually happened!
@Madame Buttonfly @Giles [/mention] @Alex all IH crew
Thank you very much for everything! This was an experience I will never forget.I took a few photos on Saturday which I'd like to share with all of you. Here is my Google Drive link to it:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1–ZV6VEWOztF7BMrUxgfWNm2uxnTEebh?usp=sharingSorry, if some of the photos are not perfectly sharp. Forgive me, but it was not that easy to enjoy that tasty Fallen Acorn beer all day while maintaining a steady hand and clear sight [emoji28]
PS. If you find photos of you, you'd like to share on IG, please feel free. However, I would appreciate if you just tag me "@fadecyde". I will also share some of them on my channel the next days.
PPS. @Madame Buttonfly you need to tell what that red wine was we had on your terrace? It was lovely!
PPPS. Thanks so much @Jeansman for giving @weftyarn @swiss-jeansfreak and me a lift! I hope I can return the favour someday!
Phenomonal pics @don_pipone . Thank you. It was a pleasure meeting you and @weftyarn and hopefully the journey along the winding cross country roads was tolerable and your flight home was OK. @swiss-jeansfreak and I got to mine just after 16.30 and after a quick garden tour and refreshments set to work curating the denim collection! Eventually I had to leave him to it while I got supper before I collapsed with exhaustion! Thanks for the offer - I always had it in mind to come to the Oktoberfest one day!!!

Do it! It's one of those must do life experiences. Unless you don't like:
a) beer
and
b) drunk people….Very drunk people.
@chrisjohnnick:Already got the call that they couldn't get the wifi to work, so they went and bought a new modem and router…
Wow - Your parents know how to setup a router by themselves?!
That would be several hour long support calls for me.Yeah, for us it was more like We gave the dog some watermelon and she had diarrhoea all over kennel then sat in it for 6 hours.
Grim. Wouldn't like to imagine the seeds firing out like bullets.
One reason keep Roger with us where possible - nobody else loves and looks out for him quite like we do. Another is he's too big and strong for the oldies whilst still a crazy puppy.
This weekend my Dad was having a knee replacement operation which didn't leave many options anyway.
