People have been saying that a lot, as we all have marked this significant "Milestone" event with Bob. I think he has been overwhelmed by the kindness and love shown to him.
It was one truly memorable week of events [and good food]
Sunday - cake, singing and a birthday ode with church familyMonday - special meal together, followed by late night opening of gifts and cards
Tuesday - birthday lunch in Norwich with good friends
Wednesday - Kippers for breakfast, then Men's Shed with cakes, Indian banquet
Thursday - Cambridge, seeing many dear friends
Friday - Julian arrived- fish and chip tea from our favourite shop
Saturday - a family birthday meal, with Julian, Marion and Adrian
Also, November 8th would have been the 69th birthday of my dearest cousin Gill - Julian's mum. I was so glad he could be with us.
As well as this mahoosive card, and enamel mug, there have many other cheerful cards and thoughtful gifts. I may mention some of them in a later post. Once again, thank you to everybody who has sent such kind greetings 💓

You reap what you sow. Bob is surrounded by love and friendship which is testimony to his kindness and loyalty. So glad he had a fabulous week. Also very glad Julian could spend Gill's birthday with you x
ReplyDeleteWe have had a great weekend with J. Do you realise, it is 4 years this week since you and I met in person , Kezzie! [but our friendship goes back years before that]
Delete4 years, eh? I knew we met around this time of year but not exactly when. I still remember my After Eight Mint Chocolate muffin! 😁
DeleteA lovely meet up in Romford Costa. I remember you had that muffin, but cannot recall what I ate!
DeleteWhat a lovely week of celebrations.
ReplyDeleteThere are 2 people in the family and one friend with birthdays on the 4th - must be a good day!
Lots of birthdays in early November - it is 9 months after Valentine's Day!!
