We celebrated our joint 70th birthdays in Fordingbridge, in the New Forest, renting two large cottages in the same grounds. It wasn’t cheap, but we wanted to celebrate with all our close family. On the first night, each family contributed to the meal by bringing a home cooked lasagne, cottage pie, casserole etc. with vegetables, salads, bread, cheese & biscuits and various desserts. It was great. On the Saturday, we booked caterers who came and cooked on site. It was a huge success, informal and fun. On the Sunday we went to the local pub. A very memorable occasion for us all - dogs came too! Enjoy your special birthday, Betty65. 💐
