Barbara’s 75th Birthday (by sarah)
Barbara has turned 75! three quarters of a centry so we baked her cake and made some sandwitches and told her to invite some people to dinner.
The cake was chocolate cake with lots of topping as she had said she likes lots of topping! I also put chocolate chips and things on it 🙂 It was obviously a 75 - Barbara confessed she was scared I'd made a watering can or something tacky like that :/
The cake went down well even if Barbara had phoned Mary in a panic and got her to bring a cake round as I had planned to make the cake Sunday morning so it would be nice and fresh and as there was no obvious finished cake Sunday morning Barbara was panicking she'd have nothing to feed her guests.
(we were at a Wedding the night before in London!)
Barbara's friend Hanna brought a balloon round for Jean which was an instant hit!
And then it was presant time!
The Dutera is a pretty plant but came with a warning that it has poisonous bits so to watch Jean.
It seemed to go very well.
