It was time to celebrate Robin’s 75th birthday, and we had a lovely gathering of family here at our (small) home. We were so lucky with the weather, it was warm and sunny so it was very pleasant out on the patio with extra seating, sheltering under the archgola. The blokes joined Robin for a beer or two outside as he tended to the lamb on his Webber BBQ.

Once the meat was cooked, our casual lunch was ready. To go with the lamb we had bacon and egg pie and chicken quiche, potato salad, green salad, gherkins and fancy cheeses, and buttered bred rolls. Dessert was a selection of sweet treats, many thanks to my sister Karla for making some delicious chocolate eclairs.

Then came the cake cutting time, and we all sung Happy Birthday to the birthday boy. The carrot cake was delicious – but we didn't bother with 75 candles. Glasses of bubbly were raised to wish Robin Happy Birthday and many more.

Our poor cat Gemma is used to a quiet life with just the two of us at home. So she was getting a little anxious with so many people in the house. I put her in our bedroom and shut the door, but she wasn’t happy with that turn of events either! Many thanks to the family for coming to share Robin’s special day with him.
