first party

We took Isaac to Manchester to celebrate my amazing friend (and boss) turning 40. Lovely to be out, wish I’d got a picture of the Manchester skyline in golden sun as I sat and fed lovely Isaac on the very peaceful balcony of the sky lounge while revellers revelled inside.

The party and seemingly endless streams of visitors served as good distraction from thinking too much about Mum, 4 years since she died today. I so want to show her the children, how Eve has become this thoughtful, spirited, brilliant girl, how funny and loving Mr Zeke is and the cuteness of baby Isaac. Her granddaughter, Lydia got her ears pierced today and seems very grown up all of a sudden and Ella remains the grandchild most likely to take over the world! Mum would be enjoying them all so much if she were here. And we’d be enjoying a cup of tea/glass of wine with a legend.
