This happened...

What? How can I be sixty?
I don't feel a day over forty, even if I can't stay up all night dancing!
The pandemic meant that the celebrations were lowkey.
In normal times, the occasion would have been celebrated with a trip abroad, most likely to Italy.
Instead our son and his girlfriend came home from Cork and we had
coffee and cake in the garden for a few close friends and cousins.

Happy Birthday!!! Beautiful cake to celebrate this special day. It sounds like your day was a good one spent with loved ones. Being healthy and having those close-to-you near are the greatest gifts of all.

At 16, sixty seems very, very old. So does 30. However, 60 is only a number that means a continuation of old adventures & the start of new ones. You're only as old as you feel. Someday the world will also be "safe" enough to travel again & celebrate future milestones.

Cake looks lovely! I'm still coming to terms with turning 60 back in 2020!

Welcome to the sixties club! Happy birthday to you and I hope you stay forty forever! :0)

Happy Birthday! Sounds like your birthday was a nice one.
Coincidentally my Birthday is four days and four years before yours.

It happened so quickly I failed to realise it was a milestone...safe to say you don't look a day over 40. As for the trip abroad it will happen one day when the world is a safer place. V

Happy Birthday!!! I wish I was still sixty. You’re still young enough to enjoy traveling when things improve. Hope you had a fun time with your family.

Happy belated Birthday. I "celebrated" my 60th during the first lockdown, low key wasn't an adequate description! Coffee and cake in the garden sounds lavish.

that scrumptious cake does not look low key...a few slices and you may end up dancing tonight...best wishes now that you are officially an old biddy!!
