Our 40th wedding anniversary today .....

'Fine dining' = smaller than average Italian sized portions though. Our record was one New year's Eve bash with friends organised by a nearby Comune. Arrival at 8:30 pm with Prosecco and canapes and 7 courses !! with an ever present live band and people dancing and mixing between courses. The final course and digestivo was served at around 3:30 am. The evening finished with about 150 somewhat 'merry' people doing the conga ( Auld Lang syne isn't known here.) I was quite enjoying having my bum groped by my missus until I saw said missus cross my path in the snake ahead of me. I looked round to find an Italian woman well into her 8Os with a big toothless grin thoroughly enjoying herself hands firmly clamped on my butt cheeks. Never quite got over that.
