We went down to London today to take Mum and Dad out to lunch to celebrate Mum’s birthday. Jen and Tim along with Leah and Jack had gone down yesterday and as far as Mum knew it was just us lot (she had booked the table!) However, behind her back, I invited Lesley & Row, Anna & Adam, Lucy & André, Linda & Bill, Brenda &Phil! Obviously I also called the restaurant and got them to change the table reservation to 19 people :) Mum was very surprised to walk up the stairs to the eating area to a refrain of “Happy Birthday to You”! It worked really well and we had a lovely meal at The Navigation Inn.
