30 Part 2

The second of our girl's celebrations. The family gathering. No gathering can be completed without a jug of Uncle Jim's Margheritas. They are limey and strong, they draw your cheeks together and go straight to your head. They are completely, utterly, fabulous.

Her man left early for a trip to London, so she decided to stay over. A proper treat for us.

Family gatherings finish early now since there are babies involved. After, the 3 of us sat on the sofa, snuggled under a blanket trying hard not to doze. We laughed a lot. I was in baby heaven. What, she can't be my baby at 30?!
