Lee's Mum is 60!

Lee's mum Lorraine (on the left of the piccie above) was 60 years old this week! She had a big party for all her family & friends. It was a fun time with a disco & buffet. Lee's dad Ray also sang Loll a couple of songs- Lady in Red & Amazing - which was really lovely. They are romantics at heart I think! It is great to see them still so in love after 40 years of marriage too. Loll had fun dancing with some of her 8 brothers & also doing the old 80s dance to Oops Upside (or whatever it's called! You know, the one where you sit on the floor!). Great to see family & friends again too.

And in case you were wondering, I made the birthday cake! I have never done a 'formal' cake with tiers before, or made royal icing or piped it onto a cake (which you can tell looking closely)but I was very pleased with the result! Loll loved it too which is the main thing & although she didn't tell me what colours she would like for the icing (she said she likes all colours) it turned out I chose the same colours as she did the table decorations. Perfect!

Anyway, Happy Birthday Mum! Enjoy your semi retirement! :O)
