Do you remember birthday parties when you were a child? Lots of presents and cards (if you were lucky). jelly, fizzy pop, sausage rolls and sandwiches? Going to bed with a tummy ache from drinking too much fizz. Those were the days eh?

And how things change or do they? I went to a birthday party a couple of weeks ago, the birthday boy was surrounded by his friends and they were all drinking fizz….

The boys had all been friends for years and they had brought the photos to prove it! They raised a lot of laughs as they were passed around, the 70’s wallpaper in the background of each picture and the happy smiling faces in the foreground – then all the stories came out as each photo was discussed – they were all time travelling as they toasted another year for not just one, but three of them on the same day!!!!

Happy Birthday Tony, Neil and Bruce!!!!

The girls looked on as the boys reminisced and it was a happy couple of hours spent with really nice people!

Too soon, it ended and we went our separate ways. Tony (birthday boy 1) had been talking about the curry he was going to have that night, he was really looking forward to it.

I wouldn’t have mentioned the curry bit had I not seen him last night – his wife told me that although he had enjoyed every mouthful he could not remember eating it – too much fizz maybe?

Many Happy Returns Tony!!!!
