My brother, sister-in-law and their kids live in England. We Skyped last night (for me) before they went for their Saturday morning swimming lessons. The time difference extended my birthday for nine hours!

As they couldn’t be here in person, they made me a birthday cake and had a tea party in my honour in the backyard. Lovely!

Here are some photos that my sister-in-law sent through… It looks like it was a great party and I wish I had been able to attend!

Cake decorating is taken very seriously in my family.

An English masterpiece – looks yum!

A perfect day for a tea party.

Still wearing our bathers from swimming in the morning (it’s summer over there…)
