We celebrated his 50th birthday at a brasserie at Bluewater having queued along the M25 and driven around the whole site looking for a parking spot on the first day of The Sales. Luckily lunch was very good and he paid!
Seventeen of us then removed to my parents' home to drink tea. I had provided Ribena and Creme de Casis (to go in the champagne) and an 'Edam' cake. What I can't believe is that I didn't photograph the Clanger that Mother had knitted for her little boy and for which I had made armour and sewed features.
It was a nostalgic day!

I know Bluewater very well - the cake looks delicious! One of the things I like about living here is not having to go on the M25 very often. Used to be on/around it a lot.
That cake is fabulous..well done.
I can't believe you made an Edam cake - that is the height of cool! For my son's 50th (in the unlikely event I should live that long) I should make a "slice of toast and Marmite" cake as that's all he ate for the first 5 years of his life!
I think many more would be visited by the Social Worker, if only they knew! It sounds like you had a lovely family time despite the traffic queues. I'm trying to decide what to do for my 50th in March.
