At the end of 2022, I had a birthday and this time I was given a party by my husband and one of my sons . It wasn't an 0 birthday but made special by the fact, that they organised it all, phoning my friends with invitations, food, cleaning the house (the best present ever!) and getting al things ready. A couple of my friends couldn't make it so I dined out - lunch on one day and coffee on another and a visit to the Japanese garden on another. I don't usually take photos of my food but these pancakes deserved a post on their own. They were delicious. I had a wonderful birthday with my very special friends. Thank you dear husband and No: 2 son!
