From living a very quiet, hermetic, life, we are suddenly overwhelmed with family. It takes some getting used to, but it's glorious. We actually have to count the children to make sure they're all still there.
Oh Cro ..... Happy, happy birthday and many happy returns of the day. If I remember rightly, it's a big one, isn't it ?!!!!!!! Have a wonderful time with your family, lots of love, XXXX
Perfect meal (apart from the olives - I wish I could like them) Perfect Company (grandchildren) and a perfect nice round age (you've caught me up) Happy Birthday Gillx
That is a beautiful looking and healthy birthday lunch. There is no better way to celebrate a birthday than to be surrounded by your loved ones. Are you celebrating one of those that is divisible by 5 or 10?
We've just finished my birthday Tea. Loads of wonderful presents, including one special one that I will talk about later. Thank you for your kind wishes.

Unfortunately not a perfect day... overcast and humid here. But otherwise all OK.
DeleteHappy birthday. You're in good company as we're celebrating my Mum's 70th today too.

Do wish her a very happy birthday from a fellow Sussex septuagenarian.
DeleteHappy Birthday, Cro! That is a beautiful salad.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Amy. Lunches at this time of year need to be visual rather than substantial.
DeleteHave a great birthday with the family. I'm sure this will be a memorable time for all. And that salad looks SO good!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Colette. It was excellent.
DeleteNo olive oil to make it a perfect med meal? Looks delicious. Perfect for this summer weather.. Love your writings.
ReplyDeletePlenty of good Olive oil, Alien. A salad wouldn't be the same without it.
DeleteThat is a beautiful looking and healthy birthday lunch. There is no better way to celebrate a birthday than to be surrounded by your loved ones. Are you celebrating one of those that is divisible by 5 or 10?
ReplyDeleteBy 10 I'm afraid. Lovely having the whole family here.
DeleteLooks about perfect to me.
ReplyDeleteIt was; and is!
DeleteI wish you a gloriously Happy Birthday! It certainly seems as if lots of celebrating in underway.
ReplyDeleteI crossed that b-day marker last September and assure you I'm now looking forward to adding to my personal clock! xo
We've just finished my birthday Tea. Loads of wonderful presents, including one special one that I will talk about later. Thank you for your kind wishes.
Deletemix in great weather and happy birthdays and it sounds like heaven on a stick to me...enjoy your special day x.
ReplyDeleteThank you Libby.... some distant thunder at the moment, and we're supposed to eating outdoors tonight.
