Flames of youth

After a long and eventful day that included my eldest's end of year public exam in front of an external jury (some grainy but expressive photos here) and one of my twins conspiring with the other to break an arm during said exam...we finally made it in the evening to the 50th birthday party of my brother in law. A lovely evening and a fire was lit to celebrate the eternal child that lives in us all (hopefully) even if we are half a century old.
