What a fabulous afternoon. Huge thanks Millie. I had such a fun time and only ate/drank 23 jellies. I didn't know at the time that they were toxic. Of course, I found out.
I'm sure there's another birthday in October. We really must do it again.
If for no other reason, then to eat the fabulous food.
