It has been a turbulent year for Henry and I, but we are coming out of the storms and are ready to hold our famous party once again!
This year we are ready to celebrate riding the storms and being richer for it, ready to celebrate life, love and relationship in all its colours, and we would like to to share the beauty of the rugged nature of Dartmoor with you.
General Information:
Friday May 22nd
6pm please come and join us for preparing and eating a meal, followed by dancing
Saturday May 23rd
dancing, dancing, dancing...food, food, food
Sunday May 24th
After a shared breakfast, we will go for a walk and a picnic in the Moor. There may be some surprises too :-)
Returning some time in the afternoon to make and share dinner and come to a gentle ending of the party.
It is also possible to join us for Friday and Saturday and bow out of the Sunday walk if you are not interested in the day out on the moor. Knowing the weather conditions here, we will hope for sunshine while wearing sturdy boots and taking wet weather gear in our rucksacks.
Please note:
This year, our party is by personal invitation only. If you have received an invite, please let us know asap if you are able to join us.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Ruth & Henry
