My real birth date was celebrated in the Dutch style on Saturday. Friends who were not at previous celebrations (and some who were but like to socialise!) arrived between 11:00 and 15:00 for tea.
The dining table was laid for 8 and Kia was the friendly and helpful right-hand girl. She was in charge of tea cup traffic and we had a great time chatting and chewing. I received loads of flowers and could not be happier.
My outfit for the day was a green crimpelene dress with beaded collar from the seventies. I bought it at the Hospice shop in Middelburg a while ago. My aunt of 84 describes the colour as giggle-green (Afr: giggelgroen)
