Nine

Finally! An uncancelled arrangement.. Up to London for K's ninth birthday, overwhelming piles of presents, four funny articulate sugar-rushed girls staying for sleepover. Full range of grandparents present - we all refused dinner and dashed home, leaving parents to deal with small brother and sleepover girls.
En route, we had lunch in Bermondsey St,  such absolutely wonderful Spanish tapas, all the basics done to the most delectable standard.
