BE Ball 2010

The British Eventing Ball 2010 at The Dunblane Hydro.  There were a fair few of us going so we were all very excited!  I had volunteered to do make up so spent a very happy afternoon doing just that and watching the rugby.  The boys were all in Pompa's sitting room watching the rugby (in peace and quiet from us girls!) so they were happy too!  We all scrubbed up rather well I think! 

John, Emma, Jack, Wendy, Lindsey, Arthur, Fran, Giles and Jess.  Also Sprout in the front!  I struggled to get the pictures right, I need more practice taking pictures in low lighting!

 All the same apart from me in the middle.  Corrie and Tam the Skye Terriers come to inspect.

 Arthur and Fran.  We had a very good table and very good company!  We had a lovely four course meal.

 John and Arthur.  You can see that John is not dressed properly (wearing a tie to an evening do!)  But he has a very good excuse..... he had fallen down the stairs on the Thursday and broken his hand so everything else went out the window in the panic.  I think we were lucky to get him there at all.  I had to tie his tie for him and seem to have given him a real footballers knot - I'm so out of practice!

 Lindsey and Arthur.  Lindsey was the Belle of the Ball (her dress was stunning) and I think I did her make up the best out of everyone I did. 

The young uns table.  Jack, Emma, Jess, Giles, Sammie and Tom.  I have no idea where Wills and Laura have gone (standing in the background - it looks like Wills has had enough of the necktie!).  Wills won four trophies including best Scottish 1* (Bertie at Blair Castle) best Scottish 3* (Smudge at Blair Castle) so we were very proud.  Then of course we danced the night away.  I again took some video but I still haven't worked out how to edit so one day you may see it when I finally learn!
