So, yesterday was my 60th birthday. Hubby had organised a small 'do' for me with family and friends, but of course it had to be cancelled. However, my day was still very, very special. We walked up Beinn Avon - a munro I've been wanting to climb for a long time. We tramped out the 34 km, and then had a (well deserved) fish and chip supper when we got home (pre-ordered online and collected by Alexander). We then had a video call with my daughter in Oslo and the kids showed me a special video they'd made with extracts from all the friends who'd have been at the party. It was brilliant. I'll be watching that over and over, I think. In addition to all that, the weather on the hills was spectacular - this was taken at the top of Beinn Avon - there are some magnificent tors all around the vast summit. I won't forget my 60th - sometimes it's the simple pleasures that make you the happiest.
I hasten to add that social distancing was absolutely observed. We never saw a soul during a 9-hour day on the hill.
Well that is a special birthday you'll never forget - and so lovely to do something you love with people you love. Happy, happy 60th birthday :) And this a wonderful shot too!
Nice family photo, and well done on the 21 mile walking. I was 60 in May. Plans cancelled, my wife made it as special as she could, but no family or grandchildren could visit. A 60th I won't forget.
Happy birthday Issi. Sounds like you had a wonderful day despite not being able to physically spend time with family and friends. Lovely photo memento to look at and cherish.
Fantastic group shot of such a memorable and special day. Happy 60th birthday, lovely lady! So pleased you had such a super day despite it needing to change tack. Full of wonderful things to make you smile from the sounds of it.
How special!!! Loved the account of your day. So lovely to have such special memories and greetings from friends.
Our kids did similar video with lots of photos from past years and greetings from all of them in their various far flung locations.
The thought behind it all is worth more than words can say!!
Just catching up......😊
