Abi's birthday begins

It's not actually Abi's birthday yet but it seems this is the year for extended celebrations. Tonight Charlie came up from Manchester to set the birthday ball rolling as she has to work on Saturday, so Izzy - who moved in, yesterday, for a couple of months - picked her up from the station while I collected Dan and Abi.

It was lovely having four of the kids in the house and to have everyone milling around while I cooked pizzas and Izzy made a salad (which you can see above, as a work in progress).
