Wow, what an absolutely amazing time we had yesterday, thank you to everyone who came, for all your kind words and good wishes and incredible generosity of our leaving gift - we are so overwhelmed.
There are so many people we would like to thank - the fabulous performers who entertained everyone into the early hours Niall, Tor, & Finaly Watson, Eddie, Pete Oakley and the amazing Nuts and especially Alastair Houston who pulled it all together for us.
Martin, Dale, Mark and Jack, your speeches were incredible and if the intention was to make us cry you nailled it!
Our amazing bar staff last night - Mollie, Freya, Emily, Cathy, Eleanor, Aery, Millie Mae as well as Jack & Evie who just volunteered and jumped in - dealing with so many more people than we expected whilst coping with the heat, temperamental wifi and card machine and running out of glasses. Chris our new glass collector also did a sterling job
Thank you to Mollie who we now know has been running a covert card signing operation from the back of her car as well as putting together our incredible collection
Hollie and Greg for taking on the responsibility of getting the food out and keeping Matt out of the kitchen
Thank you to the Park Committee for loan of the Gazeebo and to Watty, Hugh, Dodgy Darren, Dave, Tim & Rebecca for putting it up and taking it down
Again a massive thank you to everyone who came yesterday, popped into see us to say goodbye over the last few weeks or sent cards and messages, we have had the most incredible 21+ years here at the Holly Bush and you've really seen us off with a bang
