Birse Ball

What a fabulous weekend we have just had. It was our anniversary on Sunday and it fell on the annual dinner held by Birse. It's a black tie event with a 3 course meal, a free bar and a room in a four star hotel. If you scroll back a few pages you will see the photographs of last years ball. This year the theme was James Bond's Casino Royal. We were each given 10 chips to play with. The evening was really good, surrounded by friends and family, all at the expense of the company! It was so nice of them to hold this for our anniversary! (lol)



The above picture is the official photograph provided by the company. We are greeted with a champagne reception and then taken through to be photographed before being seated for the meal. Upon finishing our meal the photographs have all been developed and are laid out for collection.



After that the free bar is open and so everything gets a bit messy from then on but lots of fun was had with sticks of dynamite, hand guns and garters!!! We finally went to bed at around 3 leaving lots of people still partying hard.

We went out for lunch on Sunday with our friends, Aaron and Kisu. Kisu is from Finland and her and Aaron have just gotten engaged. The four of us are off to Ruka in March for a snowboarding holiday! Oh dear! At least there will be plenty of vodka and saunas!
