Birthday girl!

Saturday 11th February 2012 - was Mum's 65th birthday and I'd arranged a very big treat for her to celebrate this milestone..

I went and picked her up Saturday morning and brought her back to our house for pressies, a wonderful large cupcake made by my good friend Charmaine and to see the kids..

Mum and I then set off on the train up to London...

 After various clues she guessed that we were going for afternoon tea at the Ritz!

I'd had the booking made for over a year and it was def. worth it

The sandwiches really did have all the crusts cut off...

The cakes kept on being replaced..

 

and then there were fresh warm scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam...

 and then one of the waiter's brought out Mum's birthday cake!

We just couldn't eat any more so they kindly boxed up the cake to take home.

Mum said she'd had a really good time.  I'm thinking a double page scrapbook layout coming up..
