The gathering of the clan

They all came. I only told Elbows yesterday, on his birthday, so it was a lovely surprise for him. Only DougsJB and I were missing in this photo so it was a mini but noisy crowd.

DougsJB set up the big TV for outside viewing. PuddleDuck provided yum chocolate puddings and HatBox made an amazing cake (extra) - it was like a grand design cake.

So the family together, hot weather, loads of food, an England win, his mother joining us later, and it made it a pretty special birthday weekend for Elbows.

It was the first time we’d all been together since DougsJB and PuddleDucks wedding early last November.
