Hi Rosemary
Happy birthday!!
Do you also remember the movie party where we went to the Graduate? I can’t remember much about the movie but I’ve been hooked on Simon & Garfunkel music ever since. Also, I wonder how many of those sweet little 13 year olds will be at the Reunion in May!

Thank you! You’re hidden away in the corner; I’m hoping to get a better photo but all the albums with the “good” photos are in Townsville with my brother. I happened to have one of the extras. I didn’t go to the movie party with the Graduate. Mum wouldn’t let me! She thought it was immoral. I saw it for the first time when I was living in Nantes. I’d love to be at the Reunion in May. I’ll be looking forward to hearing all about it.

Happy birthday Rosemary, a wonderful way to spend your birthday with family and friends. Lyn
I didn’t have to look twice or read the caption to recognise you in the first photo! And I love the way you look so happy in both the 13th and the 21st photos. I can’t imagine what it must have been like for your mother for the 13th though, and I guess the guests too must have all known. Sometimes these seemingly unthinkable happy events provide just the right level of relief when there has been a tragedy though, just as your 40th did.
Have you tried Olivier Arlot in Montbazon yet for a birthday? If so, report back please 🙂 (We are thinking of using him for clients when the occasion demands.)

Some of us never change, I guess! I’ll have to add Olivier Arlot to list then!

Great post Rosemary. Sounds like your 60th was a truly marvellous celebration as it ought to have been. BTW I think the hotel on the Strand may have been Queens Hotel.

Ah, yes, it was the Queens Hotel. Does it still exist?

So lovely to see these photos, Rosemary. Great watch 🙂
I’m slow on reading these days and just caught up on your birthday post. So sad to think of your 13th and 40th under such terrible loss circumstances, but delighted to hear you had a wonderful 60th.
