I've been AWOL.

Over the weekend of 30th October to 2nd November I had the most fabulous weekend. I belong to an amazing group of women over the age of 50, called The Silver Tent, there are globally over 7000 members, all Wonderful Wild Women With Wisdom Worth Sharing. (Please contact me if this appeals to you). The Silver Tent has now been going for 10 years, and a birthday party was arranged, held near Tavistock, in Devon.

I travelled down with two friends, and we had the most amazing experience.

A pyjama party on the Friday Evening. 

A celebration of members who have passed on, a couple of talks and a session of archery during Saturday daytime.

A bonfire to celebrate Halloween on Saturday evening, followed by a sing-along.

A talk, followed by a climb to the top of Bren Tor on Sunday morning.

Birthday cake and a game of pass the parcel on Sunday afternoon.

A 70's style disco on Sunday evening.

And on Monday morning a presentation on the future direction of this fabulous group of women over the next 10 years - which all sounds very exciting.

Superb catering by the venue, and at short notice as the booked caterer had a stroke the previous day! 

I was the official photographer for the event, but I wasn't aware of that until I got there, so I only had my point-and-shoot Lumix and my phone, however I was able to take over 400 photos, and have spent more than a week sorting them ready to show. Don't worry though, I'll only be giving a flavour on here! Enjoy.
