It's been a busy weekend for us, our son turned 28 on Friday, and he and our daughter were both home for some birthday celebrations. We started on his actual birthday with a trip up to London to see a stand up comedy show in Covent Garden. We ate before at a wonderful vegan restaurant called Chloe, then enjoyed lots of laughs at the show. On Saturday, we had a great pub lunch out with all the grandparents. Then yesterday, we went down to Brighton, where our son took part in the half marathon there. It was very wet and windy, but he was thrilled to attain his personal best time of 1 hour, 49 minutes & 37 seconds. Here's a post race photo of Gordon with his medal, and his very proud mum, with the famous Brighton Pier in the background.
And before I go, here's the birthday card I made for Gordon.
Thanks for dropping by,

Happy Birthday wishes for your son! It sounds like you had such a wonderful time celebrating and that's such a lovely photo of you both 😁. I bet he loved the card too, the stamps that you used are fabulous! Happy and creative wishes! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteYour son looks amazing. A full beard ginger, unique!
ReplyDeleteI am also a proud mother of a ginger girl but she does nearly no sport right now. She turned 19 last week and I am proud as she has much fun and success so far with her studies.
Aren't we lucky to be mothers???
A wonderful card for him!

And a nose piercing... my daughter has also one a little nose ring... I was a bit unhappy first about it but it fits her well.
DeleteHappy belated birthday to Gordon, looks and sounds like you had a great weekend and what a fab photo of you both together, proud Mum & Son. It was my eldests birthday on Monday but sad my Daughter wasn't in the UK to celebrate with us. Fingers crossed she'll be over for Mother's day.
