The Birthday Bash

[The photos are not in order coz I'm tired and half pissed]

The whole idea behind traipsing off to Florida for a week was to help Sera celebrate her 50th birthday. Ten of us went, six of us, Dave, Me, Sellina, Sera's sister & France, staying with Sera [and her other half, Mike] in their holiday home, Richard and Annie staying with his sister and "Dummpy" Dave and his wife Babs staying in the house that they have over there. Also atending would be Sera's other sister Sam and her husband who were coming from Los Angeles and a whole bunch of their yank friends.

The birthday itself was on Monday and Sera had it all planned out as to what she wanted to do for the whole day. Starting with a heart-attack inducing breakfast, champaign on the beach, present giving and then out for diner.

he proposed which caught everybody on the hop!

A good time was had by all and between the whole bunch of us we didn't fight once [even though Mike had to bang his head on the wall several times!].
