Mum's Birthday Extravaganza!

Have had a really lovely night with Mum and Dad, Claire and Andy and Clark and Sarah :)

M+D are booked into the Rutland (courtesy of Andy, our man on the ground) and arrived to a fab funky room with beautiful fresh flowers and prosecco on ice.

We gave them a couple of hours to unwind and enjoy their fizzy then turned up en masse to present mum with her gift from Claire, Clark and I - 3 silver bangles joined together by 2 silver and 1 gold loop - signifying her 3 children! See what we did there? Clever huh?! The ongoing joke being that Clark is represented by the gold one - what with being the Golden Child :p
(From Rosie Brown in Bruntsfield and looks a wee bit like this one!)

We went out for pre-dinner drinks at Whighams followed by a most delicious meal at Angels and Bagpipes (mmmmm.......so very good! Well apart from dad's duck which wasn't good, but all the rest - gorgeous!) followed by more drinks at The Whisky Rooms. Followed by just about having to scrape my sister off the road - she always takes it too far and out drinks the rest of us ;) - before slowly weaving homewards.

A very good night, brilliant to have us altogether and so lovely to do something just for mum. She deserves it :)
