Wow! After a very stressy run up and me declaring I'm never turning 40 again, the evening was fantastic :) My Mum was due to leave at half nine as they had a long journey home - but stayed til the very end as she couldn't tear herself away! The sisters got on like burning houses, the fizzy pop didn't run out, the singing and food were fab. I didn't take pics - others did so may share. But the main one in my head is from up on the stage, choir and numerous kids singing around me, looking out at a sea of happy faces. Even my most atheist of friends on his feet for the Amen chorus because he is such a good friend he's happy to indulge me. Tho he did talk about an air show for my 50th ;)
And the post-party clear up was just brilliant - so many people pitching in to sweep up the scattered hearts from under the tables, remove the gorgeous homemade bunting (I'd never have thought how much of a difference bunting makes), wash up the jugs, gather the crumbs. I have amazing friends.
People kept telling my how radiant I was - and when you do what you love, with those you love, I guess it shows on your face. My wish for myself and for you reading this, is that we get to do lots of what we love, with many of those we love, as often as possible :D
