Pete's birthday surprise

Pete was mystified. I told him to get into the car because we were going somewhere. So he is thinking we will go to Angela's house because there is more room there. We drive past her road. Okay, not Angela's. Then he sees we are heading towards the South side of the island, so now he is thinking maybe Yvonne's house. But he can't figure why we would be going there, so he gives up trying to guess.

Here he is in his new shirt, doesn't he look dashing? This is just as we were heading out. "What kind of shoes will I need, and will I need a coat?" He really doesn't know what I have planned!

We were going to Yvonne's house, she is wonderful, she put up balloons and posters and decorations, and laid out a glorious selection of food. When we got there Pete looked slightly confused, why had we come here for his birthday dinner? Then just as he rounded the corner.... SURPRISE!! Look at his face, it is brilliant.
There were more people in her lounge than he expected. Patrick and family, Us (of course) Yvonne, and her friend John. I just love that we caught him out, that is hard to do with someone who seems to share my brain waves regularly.






We left at 10:30, having had a lovely evening. He said he felt so special and loved, and that's because he IS special and he IS loved.
