... a fab 70th Birthday

A few weekends ago Phil and I had the pleasure of spending the weekend with Mrs Brumby Senior (aka Jean). It was Phil's Mums 70th and although Jean didn't want any fuss, we did :) So much to her delight (we think) we arranged for Andy (her other son) and a few of her Whitby friend to come round for afternoon tea. It was a great surprise and a lovely afternoon was had by all. Even the cake was amazing, but that's probably because I didn't make it or decorate it!! In the even Jean, Andy, Phil and I all headed out to a really posh restaurant in Whitby for some top nosh. It was a super evening full of laughter, we were only sad that Ali, Michael and their little ones couldn't make it. But they sent a specially recorded Happy Birthday message which made everyone smile.

I still can't quite believe that Jean is actually 70 since she's still teaching virtually full time, has bags more energy than me and acts like a 20 year old most of the time. But we hope there are many more happy birthdays to come over the years.
