Sitting here wondering if I'm Pollyanna or Eeyore - Day 284: Happy birthday Essie!

A rather belated 50th for Essie (she turned 50 last year) at a surprise party held in her honour by John S at the home they share and attended by her brothers (who she didn't know were coming either and who turned up that morning with no warning) with lots of her friends in attendance, great wines and cheeses to drink and eat and a lovely afternoon to enjoy it all in. Gorgeous day.
