"65"



Our weekend has been so busy - celebrating MWM's 65th birthday, which was yesterday.

It started on Friday evening when we took all our family to our favourite Chinese restaurant for a meal.  Here's some photos from the evening.

Sitting down to dinner.

In the next photo are

Next row - Eldest Grandson Sam, Kai, Nate and Harry
Front row - Granddaughter Gracie and Mother-in-Law Jean




There was one person missing, Dan's partner Fiona who was stuck in traffic on her way home from work, unfortunately she didn't manage to get to the restaurant but she didn't miss out on the food because there was so much of it the restaurant boxed  up what was left and Dan took it home for her.

Yesterday was MWM's actual birthday and we spent it with our good friends Tony & Karen.   We went to Manchester and did a pub crawl before going to our favourite Indian Restaurant for a scrumptious meal, after which we hit a few more bars.   Here's some photos of us enjoying ourselves.










We had a great time and MWM said it was his best birthday ever!

    How nice that MWM had a double celebration. Looked like two fun events and how great that the hotel boxed up some food for the missing guest. Belated birthday greetings to the man himself.

    That looked like a wonderful celebration and a luxurious place to eat in with all the people you love to share the occasion.
    Glad the one who missed out had a doggy bag!
    Belated Happy Birthday to the "important man"

    Wow your family is just like the ones off the television. I can't remember the last time ours had a get-together anything like that.

    You know who you remind me of? Emma Harte from Barbara Taylor Bradford's A Woman of Substance/etc! As portrayed on screen by Deborah Kerr

    I think that's a typo. He's never 65!

    Glad you had a good time.
