manuel

Today we were invited to celebrate the first year of Manuel's life. He was born 8 weeks early as his mother had to have a C-section. Even today she is very tearful when she talks about his birth. It was a true Ghanaian style party-very relaxed based on Ghanaian time apparently.  Invitation said 1pm but most folk , including ,the birthday boy and parents turned up between 2-4. Food to die for .
The picture is of mum and dad helping him to cut the cake. Sophie, not related,  got in on the act too
