Mums Birthday Celebrations

Since everyone's now back in the UK and generally around we decided to celebrate Mum's 60th birthday (again!) by having a fancy dinner cruise on the Thames. A limo picked up Mum, Caroline, Jenny, Anna, Mark, Toby and I from St Osyth and whisked us down to London while we enjoyed a champagne breakfast aboard...although most of us had more champagne than breakfast!

The dress code was 'wear something red' which Jenny just scraped through by having a red Volcom logo on her shirt! We arrived at Embankment to meet with another limo which had bought up some of mums good friends from Swansea.


While enjoying some very tasty food, including an orgasmic chocolate torte, we listened to live jazz and watched all the famous sights of London pass us by.

After opening her presents, including some lovely Welsh pottery and a painting of Mumbles, Mum was presented with what can best be described as a flare in a wine glass as we sang happy birthday to her - she was delighted but very, very scared!! We spent the rest of the afternoon sitting & chatting out in the sunshine with drinks on the top deck.

It was a brilliant day and it was really great to catch up with everyone from Swansea - its always good to find out what everyone is up to these days!

While I'm here might as well put in a mention to Liz Hind's blog (http://liz-and-harvey.blogspot.com/) who has links to a whole bunch of Swansea people. More photos can be found on our flikr site at http://www.flickr.com/photos/belleandtoby/ under 'Our Lovely Friends & Family'.

Ta-ra for now, Belle x
