Yesterday ( Monday 25th May ) was my 60th birthday and I had a wonderful day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A year ago my boys said that we must all get together for my 60th and being a bank holiday there would be no excuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadly, corona virus came along, followed by lock-down. I felt sad that we couldn’t be together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I had an amazing day. It was a gloriously sunny day and I love the sun. Parcels and cards had started to arrive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My day started with a birthday message to my phone from my mum and I called her for a chat. Then after breakfast I went into the garden and my neighbour had put a gift and card on our wall and we chatted. I then got a video call from my eldest son and had a chat with my three year old grandson. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next my youngest step son had cycled over to leave a card and cake and have a distanced chat. That was followed by my eldest son and daughter in law arriving with a card and gifts and another distance chat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was then time for lunch followed by a call from my husband’s cousin and a long chat. This took us up to our next meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our lovely friends opposite had invited us for a distance birthday drink at three o’clock in their large front garden. They had set up a table and chairs for us in a sunny spot and another for them at a distance and we each took our own prosecco and glasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While there I had a birthday call from my eldest step son and several text messages plus our friend’s neighbours came out to wish me a happy birthday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We came back home at seven o’clock and our neighbours the other side called to me to wish me happy birthday and see how my day had gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was then time for a later than usual evening meal and afterwards a few more text messages. There had not been a gap in the day from start to finish and it worked out better than I could have imagined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have had lots of lovely gifts but will just show my flowers here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of the bank holiday I have been told that I have another parcel and some more cards to come. It is spreading my birthday out nicely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My lovely husband also did me a B.B.Q. the day before instead of me cooking the usual Sunday roast. On my birthday I had organised a seafood cocktail for our evening meal because we knew we might be late back home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have said that we will celebrate together next year but this birthday will always be memorable. It has been amazing. Thank you to everyone. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
