Birthday Party

[tiggerblue10]

It was little Tigs birthday yesterday and we had a party at an indoor trampoline park with 5 of his friends. It was so good to be able to book something and mix with others as its also the last birthday before he finishes primary.

I spent my big 5 0 at home doing nowt back in February so planning a big party in August in my new house. It'll be a house-warming/birthday bbq so I really hope there are no more lockdowns.

Anyone else missed out on any big occasions over the last year?

i will miss my SIL 70th this year. Though my brother had a 70th birthday bash last year, which was great, lots to eat and drink,
and the sun shone beautifully, then again this was in August.

I had a "special" birthday last year. Mrs NJ had booked a flight in a Spitfire, whilst she and one of my nephews were flown in a "chase" plane until I sped away from them. Postponed until this year (hopefully).

My son and most of his friends were 40 last year and had planned a series of parties and a holiday in a cottage to celebrate- all cancelled.

that sounds great NJ. We bought my brother who turned 70 a flight simulator lasting 2 hours. he hasn't done it yet because of the pandemic.

Like thousands of others we missed doing Christmas with my daughter (that I haven't seen since August) and her boyfriend so we are doing the whole thing next weekend - all the presents and crackers too!

I think that's a step too far emmie but other than that we will run the day as if it's Xmas.

[emmie]

Lots, Tiggs. My group of eight friends celebrate birthdays with 0 and 5 in a big way. Most of us hit 70 last year so those are on hold. Lots of visits from the UK to our new home were cancelled. Most of the family, including me, missed mum's funeral. She had left strict instructions for a big send off.
In truth it's not so much the big occasions that I miss. It's just seeing the children and grandchildren...days out with the daughter or just an evening in garden chatting with them over a bottle of wine.
Still, outdoor dining is arriving here in a couple of weeks so we've got the macs, wellies and brollies ready... :-)

Yes, I was 70 in March. We're going out for a meal tomorrow - the last place we went before lockdown last March. We'll also celebrate our son's birthday and out anniversary. Just a shame we can't have our daughter and her famiky with us too yet.

We missed my son and nephew’s 21st and also my husbands 50th.

Sounds great, NJ, hope everything goes according to plan. Same for everyone, it will be great for everyone to just celebrate seeing family and friends :o)
