Birthday Candles

The Flumlet held his birthday party today, a few days before the Big Event itself, inviting 20 of his friends. Blowing out the candles on his Fireman Sam cake took as much concentration as unwrapping a layer of paper when playing Pass-the-parcel (extra photo).

After all the guests had left and everything cleared up Mr Flum, Miss Flum and I repaired to her house to eat a few leftovers for tea, while watching black clouds roll in and checking a website which shows where lightning is occurring. On our way home later we drove through a cloudburst, with minimal visibility, setting the road awash - while a short distance from home there appeared to have been little rain at all.
