"Toasting: A Celebration of Tradition and Joy" Fox Hunters toast a day on the hunt at their local, raising glasses filled with camaraderie and tales of adventure. The air is filled with laughter and the clinking of glasses as they honor their shared passion. In Charles Dickens' classic novel "David Copperfield, " Mr Micawber makes Punch, a delightful concoction that brings warmth to both body and soul. As he raises his glass, he toasts to friendship and brighter days ahead. An old advert featuring Lawrence Squire captures a moment in time when friends gather around a table, raising their glasses in unison. Their smiles radiate happiness as they celebrate life's simple pleasures. The royal wedding at the Riviera Club in 1923 becomes an unforgettable occasion for all attendees. Champagne flows freely as guests raise their glasses high, toasting to love, happiness, and the union of two souls. Madame Yevonde's photograph portrays a woman holding a glass delicately, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. She raises her glass in celebration of herself - confident and independent - embracing life's joys without hesitation. Admiral Nelson stands tall amongst his fellow officers on the eve of victory. With pride shining through his eyes, he lifts his glass high into the night sky, offering a heartfelt toast to bravery and triumph. A vibrant color lithograph depicts men gathered around a table adorned with fine china and crystalware. They raise their glasses high while proclaiming "The Ladies. God bless 'em. " It is an ode to women's strength and grace that deserves recognition. Jean Baptiste Guth's painting "The Little Father" showcases familial bonds strengthened by shared meals together. As they clink glasses over delicious food and wine, they toast to love, unity, and cherished moments spent together. A theatre poster featuring David Garrick captures him mid-toast during one of his legendary performances.
