Birthday Party!

Today Violet celebrated being 2 with a special Fairies and Pixies party.  Despite the Great British Weather doing its best with a monsoon like downpour, we all agreed that it was a thoroughly good day!  The rain meant that today saw another first - the first time that we've had a pony come into our hall!  This delightful little pony called Polly is very experienced at making appearances at parties and was not at all put out by having to stand in our hallway rather than being able to give rides around the garden.  We all loved her, children and adults alike!  See a rather poor quality extra: our hall was rather dark and the pony black so  no chance of good light!

This weekend someone else also celebrated a special birthday in the form of HM Queen Elizabeth who is 90.  it also rained on  her majesty's celebrations, although on the Sunday rather than  today but in true British style we didn't let it dampen our spirits either here or in central London!
