The day started normally without any particular plans apart from to see Kamila, and my Grand Children. As is often the case plans change and Kamila was delayed, but in the process I talked to Elizabeth and Bruno, Kamila’s in laws, and they invited us to a BBQ for the weekend. Unfortunately, Alex and I would be busy, but instead everyone was invited that evening, and I quickly organised a surprise Birthday Party.

I made a trip to our local Waitrose, and both everything need for the surprise, including bunting, cake and all the ingredients for a BBQ.

What fun we had, and Alex, now affectionately know as the Monkeys Uncle, was very pleasantly surprised by the surprise and the company. Alex is a great uncle, and cares for and Loves Quinn and Oscar and off course Kamila and Karl.

We had marinate chicken, corn on the cob, home made hamburgers, salads and off course Birthday Cake. The party poppers went down exceptionally well, only being surpassed by the garden sprinkler, which the kids ran through in the pleasant warmth of the evening. The evening was topped with the kids dancing, asking for songs from The Alexa device and finally playing hide and seek.
