Last week I celebrated a significant birthday.
Fortunately, lockdown restrictions were eased a few days before and myself, daughter, son, Dil and grandchildren were able to meet up and spend a few days together to celebrate.
Last Summer I booked a lodge at CentreParcs thinking the restrictions of the pandemic would be in the past! It then became a nail biting time wondering if I would be able to celebrate at all. However, just four days before my birthday the rules were changed and I would be able to celebrate the day with my closest family.
My daughter baked this fabulous cake which was delicious. She also made a video of messages from friends and relatives which was emotional, funny and full of special memories for me.
My son and Dil arranged the activities for the weekend which involved rock climbing, Segway, crazy golf, ten pin bowling, badminton, table tennis, swimming and more! We had such a good time that few photos were taken.
Many happy returns and a healthy year to come.
ReplyDeleteThat cake is spectacular! If it wasn't covid, I would suggest she goes professional. I could be her first big customer :)
Congratulations with this milestone in age! Glad you could celebrate it in thw old way with family. Slowly going to normal....

ReplyDeleteOh my, you all look so fabulous and what an amazing cake! I hear 70 is the new 50, by the way. Belated Happy Birthday to you. Wishing you a healthy happy year ahead. You certainly have the love. :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the decade of the 70s! What a grand celebration. What makes me feel older is having my oldest child turn 40 on Saturday! How can that be?
