Dear Zanzibar Team Members and Friends
May 2010 has been a very hectic month with several activities falling in place one after another and highlighted by the visit of our very special friends Mervyn and Pervin (the King and Queen of Arusha/Zanzibar as known to our team).
We were honoured to have M and P stay with us for a few days making it possible for us to meet up with our UK team members Patsy, Derek and Diana De Lord, Betty and Benny, including very special Zanzibari's, Alexander and Annabella Fernandes, Dr. Betty Spry & Alan and Walter Nunes and Merelia.
We were fortunate to have a fairly bright day which was full of good memories of our time we had in Arusha and Zanzibar followed by unlimited jokes and laughter with a good old sing song session ending the evening with a late night card session going into the early hours of the morning.
Highlight of our garden party for M&P was greeted with the great news of Alex and Anna becoming grandparents with their 5th grandchild named Alexander. We toasted with Champagne with comipliments from Alex and Anna and we were all able to see the arrival of the new baby born in Singapore on SKYPE where we all conveyed our congratulations to proud parents Dr. Angelo and Vinny Fernandes.
Betty was certainly kept busy most of May which commenced helping me build an outside play house for our two babies Sheba and Suki followed by assisting my son Winston deck the Koi pond with a store room below and the wedding of my nephew Richard, son of Jerome and Clarisse de Souza with Mike and Yvette Muise being our guests and my youngest sister Rhoda staying with Alex and Anna. All told it was all fun all the time and as a token of rememberance of all our activities I have attached a couple of extra links of some of the fun parties. Unfortunately I was unable to take photographs at Richard's wedding as I had to provide the entertainment with my dance band Black Velvet - some of the photos were kindly provided by my sister Yvette.
The wedding of Richard and Angela de Souza held at the Hilton Park Lane London was a fabulous occasion.
Other activities included family and relatives get-together.
Please click on the links below to view some of the photographs.
(Some Richard & Angela's Wedding photos added to
this album. Special album to follow later).
P.S. Dear Rooky, John, Hilda and Tony - we missed you 'A' Team members greatly but did not fail to talk of our great times we had in Zanzibar and all the fun with Mervyn and Pervin. We must meet again in Zanzibar 2011 without a fail. Love to you all. Benny
Best regards
Benny & Betty
