50th birthday selfie

I thought I would mark the auspicious (and slightly traumatic) occasion of my 50th birthday with a selfie (of sorts). Perhaps not the most flattering of angles, but hey, who cares?

We had a houseful of guests staying and all met up with my family who live nearby in a restaurant for a meal. A lovely evening surrounded by lots of my favourite people.

[❀ Lynn]

Haha...I thought it was a Christmas silhouette!! Mary and her donkey! lol
Hope you had a great day.

[Susan Golding]

I like it!

[Beryl Lloyd]

How lovely to have a selfie with Donk !! Glad you celebrated in style with your favourite people

[Jan Hall]

@lynnb that's what my kids said when they saw it!

[Lisa Pouncy]

@lynnb I was just about to say exactly that :o) What a great shot for a happy birthday xx

[Alison Tomlin]

doesn't sound too traumatic! Happy Birthday. Hope you had a great time.

[Maggiemae]

Wouldn't it be awful if someone said, "which one is you"! Lol, just kidding but this is not good enough! Turn the camera around, Jan!

[Decima F]

Very modest selfie. Happy Birthday.

[Leslie]

You look excellent and so does your friend... Happy BD

[Louise]

Nice shadow shot and I have to laugh at Lynn's comment about Mary and donkey!

[Louise]

Also, Happy Birthday - hope you've had a lovely day.

[Rob Wareham]

A great night with friends then why the long face? Oh that's the donkey! Happy birthday.

[Pat Knowles]

Sounds lovely...this rather reminds me of an angel & a donkey....fitting!!!

[Emma Durnford]

Happy Birthday - it sounds like a good celebration!

[Judith Greenwood]

You are masquerading as the Virgin Mary!! Hope you had a brilliant day. 50 is the new 30 - I'm hoping....

[JH]

Oooh happy birthday! So glad it was a goodie.

[Tracey H-N]

@judithg Ha ha I just told a friend 50 is the new 20 only you're smarter. I also thought it was the Mary/donkey/inn theme. Happy birthday ! And best wishes for many more.

[Kerri Michaels]

Happy Birthday!!

[Cathy Donohoue]

Happy Birthday! So glad that you included a donk.

Happy Birthday, Jan!

[Kev]

I'm a "Mary and ner Donkey" viewer too, I'm afraid! Happy Birthday!

[Tony]

Looks fantastic. The shadows are biblical.

[Wendy]

Very cute! I think it looks like Mary as well.
Don't despair - at least no one mistook you as the one on the right - except maybe Rob ...
Happy Birthday, Jan! You are only as old as you feel!

[Padlock]

Cool shot won't be cruel and say what big ears you have got. Happy birthday.

[🐞Lucy Dolittle]

Yes I thought it was a nativity shot of Mary and the donkey. Selfie, jan you are a chicken, you are gorgeous I have seen you and know for a fact you have no reason to hide in the shadows.

[Jo]

Damn I got the date wrong, it was the 28th not 27th, silly me. Hope you had a very Happy Birthday x

[Lisa]

Belated Happy Birthday Jan - hope you had a wonderful day! Love this idea - my kinda selfie! : )

[Sue Barnicoat]
