Ok, first, a Ceilidh is not a barn-dance! I don't know how many people I've had to tell that to, but now that that's out the way I'll move on :)
The title refers to my mum and dad's 25th wedding anniversary! Last weekend seems longer than a week ago already, (though I'll put that down to PGCE!) but it was such a wonderful and special time. 65 friends and family from 20+ years ago managed to make it. A splendid buffet was put on by my mum, with Cat and I serving the drinks. Oooh yes, that's a point, Cat had the rather scary first meeting of my parents, family and friends in one foul swoop on Saturday. She did fantastically though, and raised smiles all over :)
The ceilidh itself was amazingly fun, and energetic as per standard, so my dad and I had marvelous fun wheeling around in our kilts while the tired people at the sides laughed their sides off at our antics on the dance floor ;)
Concluding the evening was a very special time of my parents both giving dedications and thanks to each other for the past 25 years, while we watched on from the sides.
Definitely a weekend that none of us will forget.
Now I need to repay the favour for Cat by hopefully meeting her parents after the new year. Excited, and a tad nervous would sum me up nicely!
Some pics from the evening:

Ceilidh dancing, the 'basket', where the ladies are lifted off the ground. I found this rather hard to support as most of the other men were a tad taller than me ;)
Enough of my prattlings, I must be back to my penultimate assignment which needs some more work done to it. EAL in Maths, and I'm actually finding it rather interesting :)
TTFN, until soon,
