Birthday Breakfast

Yesterday was Noreen’s birthday. I can’t tell you how old she is but the clue is Heinz.
The children organised a breakfast for her. Starting with the mandatory champagne (this was good stuff – Moet).
Sam serenaded us as is his wont.
First course was poached eggs, with mushrooms and tomatoes on ciabatta.We sat out on the deck – note the new hanging baskets suspended from the pergola.
This one seems to be growing out of Noreen’s head!
The meal finished with a healthy helping of fruit – melon, strawberries and blueberries. Note Jenny’s new retro sunglasses she got in Melbourne.
To complete a happy day we had lots of people round for a barbecue in the evening, New Zealand won the Wellington Sevens, we beat Pakistan in the one day cricket (but lost the series 3-2) and the Phoenix had only their second away win of the season to move closer to securing their playoff position in the A-league.
