The new Friend "Bruce"
The End with Noreen's Finale
Hi folks
It started with Noreen waking up which is always a good start; it then became a very casual affair as befits someone of Noreen's age, breakfast of fresh fruits and decaffeinated Coffee on the balcony, whilst opening presents and cards and being introduced to her new friend Bruce. The rest of the day was spent playing games with Mitchel and eating which I may add has become a prominent feature of the holiday, (not playing with Mitchel but the eating)All this time Mary and Roger were busily preparing for the party which was to be held in true Ausie fashion on the beach, where else

The End with Noreen's Finale
Hi folks
Birthday Party on the Beach in January:
It started with Noreen waking up which is always a good start; it then became a very casual affair as befits someone of Noreen's age, breakfast of fresh fruits and decaffeinated Coffee on the balcony, whilst opening presents and cards and being introduced to her new friend Bruce. The rest of the day was spent playing games with Mitchel and eating which I may add has become a prominent feature of the holiday, (not playing with Mitchel but the eating)All this time Mary and Roger were busily preparing for the party which was to be held in true Ausie fashion on the beach, where else
The whole family came including Bruce Noreen's new Friend who she insists I get a visa for and bring him back to the UK (another bloody immigrant)
Now as I said earlier food and drink is a part of the Ausie culture maybe because they have so much of it, but the spread that was supplied could have fed an army and I should know, it took over two hrs of constant eating on my part to finish it off (well I was always told it was rude not to finish your food, and that's my excuse). This included the Birthday Cheese cake made by Nadine which I swear was over 4" high with about 1lb fresh fruit on top. The whole party started with shading ourselves from the sun and ended with us navigating back in the dark. We had to stay late to give the whole of Southport a Sparkler Spectacular, Which was to be the highlight of the evening, except for Noreen's speech????.
It was a fantastic one Noreen is not likely to forget and one that could only be done here in Ause so we thank everyone for a great day.
Speak soon
