The Big Birthday Bash

With one QQ having a big '0' birthday, we wondered if we could make it extra special with an overnight-er at the coast........ after many, many emails - it wasn't until two weeks before the 'event' that we were all sure we would pull it off!!

So with a bucket and spade, some sewing/hooky and several bottles of Prosecco we actually managed two nights. A productive day of sewing, laughter, drinking and a very enjoyable curry!

So what do you get someone for a big '0' birthday - somewhat of a tradition now - handmade quilted cushions of course......


                          






We cracked open the first bottle at lunch time.... if fact two bottles..... most unusual as we all drive to the venue normally but the cars were not moving so why not!!


Cheers...... don't be fooled by the sunshine - if you look closely we had to wear our coats for lunch!!! Happy Birthday HT - hope you enjoyed your day!


We have three birthdays in April - as we didn't all make it to the last meeting we decided to hold fire with the gifts so it was very much like Christmas day for all concerned. H couldn't decide if this was a hanging basket or new headgear for sorting the bees.....


Cake, of course, was required.......along with a catch up with EL. Always great - the US doesn't seem so far with Face-time.


And our day wouldn't be complete without our projects.....

 




 

The weekend was finished with a VERY windy walk on the beach Sunday morning.....nothing more wonderful that being blown across the shoreline!!! Maybe again sometime (soon) !!
