Sophie is Seven

Where have all those years gone?  It really doesn't seem long since she was a tiny newborn and home for the first time.  Today I think she was a bit overwhelmed by the occasion - I expect she'd been very excited with the anticipation of her birthday.  She had a friend round for a birthday tea and a very colourful cake, made by her mum, containing  a LOL toy (not there during the baking).  There is a party on Saturday for more friends, so more to look forward to.

This was the first time I'd used my Rotalight on the camera - it gives a consistent LED light which is easily controllable and is also a flash with no charge time; for this occasion, I just used the constant light.
