It's written all over the sky! |
A birthday drink (the first of many) |
Celebrating with the first asparagus of the season |
Followed by lamb, of course |
Ingrid and Janne |
Are you sure you've thought of everything for tomorrow? |
The marquee is up |
Trying out the marquee the night before the party |
Hail to thee, blythe spirit |
Aeroplane impressions by qualified aircraft engineer |
A bemused audience |
Meanwhile, Grandad is snoozing.... |
Next morning: checking if the marquee is still there |
The postman has been |
Flowers from Sweden |
Preparations for the party |
Making seat pads |
Inspecting the arrangements before the onslaught |
The clan is gathering |
Grandad slowly joining the party |
Giving away the Sangria recipe |
The sun is coming out! |
Where did you get that hat? |
We ought to go and check up on that fridge... |
Woofy woofday! |
Windpower |
Can I start now? |
Let battle commence |
Tucking in |
Tucking in |
Tucking in |
Tucking in |
70th BIRTHDAY DEAR ROBERT backwards |
HAPPY 70th BIRTHDAY the right way round |
Magic - just like that! |
The Company of Musicians |
Listening to madrigals |
Now is the month of maying |
Two little boys born on the same day a year ago |
A nice sobremesa |
Did my uncle really finish all those? |
End of first party |
Another day, another party... |
Wine circle members propping up the bar |
Braving a bad back |
The sun shining on the Supper club |
"Hur står det till?" |
Peeping at the neighbours... |
Explaining the beauty of metric conversion |
A sneak Irish cuddle in the kitchen |
Happy birthday in Swedish |
With Swedish sister-in-law |
A happy birthday boy |
