I had a wonderful party lunch yesterday, with about 20 guests. Lyndall made and decorated the cake and gave me one big candle (instead of 70 little ones). My niece had had the photo of my mother restored and brought it with her, so we hung it on the wall during the festivites. (Mum died in 1998, aged 80, and we think the photo was taken when she was about seven. The sideboard was hers, too - I had it restored for the Mayfield house.)
Everybody seemed to enjoy themselves and the food, prepared by Manami and Philip, was delicious. I was given many lovely presents and feel very spoilt. We were fortunate the wild weather of the previous night calmed down and the sun came out, with only one or two showers which didn't really matter, as the tables were set up on the deck which has a roof.

How nice to read such wonderful lines!
And imagination starts trying to complete the missing part for me.
I mean the atmosphere (aura) which was in the air.
