BUSY, BUSY, BUSY

Instead of getting all of our clothes ready and preparing for our holiday in England we've been busy preparing for a party.
It's a very special party for Tony's mother.


Yes, she's turning   90   on Good Friday !

So today I've been making centre pieces for the tables.


It is so hard to photograph them in this light.


The dining room furniture has been moved out into the Garden Room .....


 ..... which is looking very bare without any plants.

We need to seat 18 - 20 so all available tables have been lined up ready.


and all the furniture from the Garden Room is now in the Dining Room - we'll serve welcome drinks and nibbles here (when it's all spruced up !).


This little table that Tony made from an old sewing machine will be the drinks table.

Still lots to do and two days to do it in !

Cheers.

    Those are lovely decorations and I am sure it'll look fantastic on the day. You really are working hard so it can't fail to be the best.

    Happy 90th birthday to Tony's Mum - what a wonderful milestone!
    Doesn't take long to pack, Helen. You should be an expert by now. Have a great trip.
