As we saw Richard's car arrive, I stood near the front door to get a photo of the birthday girl as she walked in and saw, instead of a board of men meeting, all her friends waiting to welcome her to a surprise party!
Surprise!

Amanda, Louise, I, my kitchen staff and the WDL kitchen staff made this delicious array of treats

Amanda baked and decorated the birthday cake
While the guests helped themselves to refreshments, Louise noticed I was taking photos. So she told me to stand with Amanda and Richard while she snapped us!

In the evening we all met again at the club where Rob, Nsia's husband had brought in delicious Asian snacks.
