Hi there!

Thanks for popping in!

Well, you know I said yesterday I’m rubbish at keeping secrets

because of the beautiful new Designer Papers I had to show you?

So not true!!

I have been hanging on to this one for months!

Mum’s 80th today.

Coffee and Cake at our house was the plan…

And I have spent days making the tea party table lovely,

 titivating and prettifying.

I was up at 7.30 sharp this morning, started making posh sandwiches with the crusts cut off whilst watching Rosie on the telly. Didn’t she do well ?!?

The fridge was chocablock, 

and didn’t the new porsche come in handy!!

Where would I have put the sandwiches otherwise?!?

Mum’s face was priceless when she saw Grace and Mark.

And Steve’s boys, Ben and Harry, too.

In fact, the whole Gray clan turned out to sing and celebrate.

And this evening we are off to dinner at the Spa Hotel.

So I shall go and get dressed now.

There are secrets and then there are secrets, aren’t there?

And this one, getting the kids over, and planning the tea party – right down to the lovely Strawberry Flan and the Black Forest Gateau which is already sitting in a cool room at the hotel – has probably given ME more pleasure than anybody else involved!

I have been the keeper of the secret’s key.

And oh how exciting when you can finally open the door on it.

Love & Hugs,

Barb
