(School) house party

And so the day of the party finally arrived. The bunting is up. And everything's ready for the first guest.

And here you are! Welcome! You're right on time!

Do come inside.

 There's heaps to drink. Grab a glass.

 Would you prefer non-alcoholic

 or alcoholic?

There's quite a spread to chose from (I'm expecting rather a crowd).

 There's even a specially-iced cake to mark the occasion. We'll cut it later in the night when everyone's here. In the meantime, help yourself to something sweet,

 savoury,

and, of course, there's lots of cheese.

Take a seat, if you wish. I'm sure more guests will arrive shortly.

My muso friends were tuning up earlier and have just ducked into town to collect a couple of last minute things. They'll be back soon and then things will really get started.

Feel free to grab a chair outside and wait for them to return. If you get peckish you can access the food from out there.

 Blogging for nine years? I know, who would have thought?

I'm glad you could make it!
