That’s it. In the words of the song I’m so happy and excited because tomorrow our daughter and her husband, and our three grandchildren (8 year old twins and 4 years old) are arriving for a visit. They are living in New Zealand for a two year period and they left exactly one year ago. They’re coming home for a visit because my husband is celebrating his 70th birthday (how did he get that old?) and the whole family is going to Devon for a week. I’ve rented an enormous and lovely house, but before that we’ll all be together at home for a while. So I’m so excited.

So glad you will all be together. My 70th went unnoticed by husband as usual but only son bought me a fantastic supersized Samsung TV. Much used and appreciated.

So very happy for you all

What wonderful news for all of you having family get-togethers. We have missed so much over the past two years, especially for those of you with families in other countries.

Enjoy every little moment!

I remember them going to New Zealand and can't believe a year has passed. How lovely to have them home for the family celebration. Have a lovely time together. Best wishes to all those about to be 70.

What lovely news. Enjoy, everyone. Maddyone, 1952 was a very classy year to be born. I think you can probably guess how old I am!

Me too! My daughter is arriving from NZ at the beginning of June and I’ll be with all my children and DH on my 70th. It’s the first time we’ll all be together for such a long time.

Maddyone, have a lovely, happy time. ?

Thank you, everyone! I didn’t mean to steal Maddyone’s thunder but it is good to see more of normal life resuming.

I’m in the midst of moving house next week so my mind is mostly full of boxes and I think July will come round very quickly. smile

Happy birthday to all the birthday boys and girls! ?

Something in the air about 70th birthdays being celebrated by our families this year! Must be post-Covid elation. Next week we have 4 generations of our little family off to Ibiza for 10 days to celebrate my husband’s 70th. We can’t wait!
