Happy Christmas and birthday

As Izzy was away at Christmas and then for her birthday, we had a surprise party for her, at lunchtime. Lord, the stress of secrets! Hannah, Izzy, my niece, Phoebe, and I all went for a run this morning, and when we were saying goodbye, I had to pretend I wasn't going to see her for a couple of weeks.

In the end, we all arrived there ahead of Izzy, who thought she was being taken out for lunch by Hannah, and the surprise worked perfectly! We had crackers, eco-balloons, courtesy of the Minx, and a cake. And a good time!
