Happy Birthdays!

It has been a weekend of birthdays.
On Friday our dear friend turned 50! so we celebrated his milestone birthday, around at their home with a party. Happy Birthday Andrew.

On Sunday, 18th our dear Son turned 20! I can't believe how fast those years have gone.

Today you are you, that is truer than true.
There is no one alive, who is you'er than you...
Happy Birthday Marcel!

~Dr Seuss

What a lovely way to spend the afternoon, celebrating with champagne, delicious food and looking out at the harbour, watching the boats come and go.

Hope your weekend was fabulous and your new week off to a great start.
Happy week all.
Will show the photos of the kids Apartment, at Hampton Court tomorrow.

Hugs
Carolyn

    Hi Carolyn,
    Happy Birthday to your friend and your son. I hope they both enjoyed a special day. Yes, time does move very quickly especially as we watch our children grow and become adults.
    Looks like a special celebration overlooking the water and watching the boats. You live in such a glorious place.

    Thank you for sharing the special times in your life.

    Love to you, Celestina Marie
