It was so nice to be part of Selwyn 80th birthday party recently. Family and friends gathered at Anzil Hungarian Café for Afternoon Tea. Caravanning was a big part of Selwyn and Kath’s life, so our caravan club was invited along too, on this special day. Plates of sandwiches were on the tables, and the staff carried around plates of interesting savouries, “Money bags” and “Hungarian Meatballs” to mention a couple on offer.
Selwyn, with Kath at his side, thanked us all for coming.
Then it was time for the Birthday Cakes, after all, why just have one when two sounds better. Selwyn's grandson helped with the all important candle blowing ceremony.
Cutting the cakes
It was a lovely afternoon, nibbling tasty food, chatting away to friends. The staff offered glasses of bubbly to one and all, but not for us. This was Robin’s first social outing since his knee op and was not allowed alcohol with his medication. And I was the driver so none for me either, a shame, because I’m rather partial to a glass of bubbles, but I don't drink and drive.

Robin did very well, sitting a while, then standing with his crutches, catching up with everyone. But then his knee was getting rather sore, and we said our goodbyes and it was time to head for home. It was a wonderful afternoon indeed, thanks so much, Selwyn and Kath for such a lovely time.

How enjoyable to catch up with everyone and help celebrate such a great occasion. It’s good that Robin was well enough to attend
