Paper roses

These ( which were a gift for me from one of Mr T's friends for university who joined us in celebrating his 60th) are very real & very lovely. Paper roses on the other hand was one of many, many songs sung last night. My favourite was a particularly fine version of Orphan Girl. 

Celebrations continued today with a visit from Mr T's dad, second eldest brother & DD followed by a phone call from step-dsughter in NY.
