Happy birthday to him

How quickly can a weekend go?  We had a really lovely weekend and it just flew by far too fast.  Our son came home on Friday for pre-21st birthday celebrations with the family.  So my Saturday was spent cooking up large pots of chilli con carne for the buffet

P1020296Picking up his cake from WaitroseP1020297  Not to mention baking a Banoffee Pie and a raspberry cheesecake on a coconut biscuit base and making various salads and side dishes.  Then on Sunday it was over to the ‘party’ shop to pick up a centrepiece for the table

And some helium balloons

Then suddenly people started arriving, bottles of wine were opened, food was eaten and of course cake was presented along with sparklers

P1020310

And a couple of willing helpers to help blow them out while we all sang ‘Happy Birthday’

And all too soon it was over, and today he went back to Sheffield, with a car full of presents – the main one of which was our gift to him of a new guitar

    I'm getting quite tearful just looking at it! 21? Wow!

    And, yes, I know what I'm supposed to say now - and I'm happy to say it: You don't look old enough to have a 21 year old son!!
