41 in; 1 out

42 for a sit down lunch chez nous. Food, booze and fun with a UK/EU Referendum theme. I organised an EU quiz, keynote speech, singsong and secret in/out ballot.

Huge fun, riotous behaviour but nonetheless, a couple of dramas. Two 'delegates' on opposing sides had a war of words (adding to party spirit!). It was so heated, we turned off the radiators.

The second involved a woman choking on her goulash. With 70% of partygoers unaware, the paramedics stretchered her out for a trip to hospital.

When organising parties for oldies, always leave space on the drive for an ambulance...
