Mum's 80th Birthday - Such a special day in so many ways - we didn't think she would even see 80 due to her deteriorating health (we were blessed to have her for another 5 years). All her children and grandchildren were present as well as many friends from over her lifetime.
One thing that I loved so much about her High Tea' party was several of her Octogenarian friends stood and spoke of their many years of friendship.

Bottom - all the birthday cake!!!
