Golden wedding party

Seems this blog is headed for a review courtesy of Hannah 🙏 Thanks Hannah.
I’d like to write something positive today after a bit of doom and gloom of the last few entries.
Had a hilarious weekend last week. We were invited to some friend’s golden wedding celebration a few hundred miles away in the depths of the Western Australian bush. This place is very isolated and the populace are “different” if you know what I mean.
Cultivation of a certain weed is prevalent and the resulting behaviours of the folk are “interesting” We were staying at the local caravan park where a local wedding was taking place.
We attended our friend’s Golden Wedding party,( there is a story there too that begs to be told, one is certain to appear on WdC very soon) We walked the half mile or so to the community hall where the event took place. Afterwards we eventually managed to wend our way back to our caravan in the dark (husband forgot the torch!)
We fell asleep to the sounds of the wedding party, everyone sounded happy at that time, but soon things took a turn for the worse as the alcohol and other substances took hold and the fighting ensued. The participants in the melee were getting closer to where we were sleeping in our very small caravan, we were hoping and praying no one had a gun, as stray bullets could have killed us where we lay listening to the cursing and threats. At last the cavalry arrived in the shape of a cop car and peace was restored. It sounded as if the best man was accusing the groom of stealing his woman.
The following morning as soon as it was daylight we packed up our camp and made our way back to civilisation. The numerous kangaroos who live there went back to their peaceful grazing.
That was supposed to be a quiet break before my upcoming breast cancer surgery. Peaceful it wasn’t, but we laughed a lot and I garnered some great story material.
