Brians birthday

Brians birthday was a real success. The day started for Christina and me at 5.00 am when we put the flags up and went for our early morning swimm. Later we had a full family breakfast and spende the rest of the day relaxing before the big party in the evening.

At 5.30 pm Brian was picked up by an original 64 (64½) Ford Mustang. It was my gift to Brian as he loves that type of car. He went for a joy ride and arrived 45 minutes later at the hall.

All the guests had already arrived and applauded when he arrived.

Everyone got a welcome drink made of kiwi apperativ and mineral water. The menu was quich with carrotts and leeks and ham on lettuce leaves. They had been made by Christina and Emina (Elses daughter) the day before. Main course was five different meats straight from the grill. Leg of lamb, Chicken breats, spareribs, beef and sausages. 12 different salats, flúte, potatoes in rosemarin, creamed potatoes and two different dressings.

Dessert was layer cake with cake cream and rasberries, marcipan and cream with coffee and tea. On the side was biscuits and sweets.

Drinks was white wine, redwine, mineralwater, juice (apple and orange), beer and lemonade.

Supper was bradrolls with different meats and cheeses.

A great evening with lots of entertainment.

The kids and I had prepared a sketch (play) with all the imbarrising things Brian has done over the last 50 years. It has been taped on video and can be viewed shortly at Grandma and Granddads house.

Else made a speech. And our neighbour Karen Magrethe had made a song and Brian got dressed up and spoon fed. Very much enjoyed my the people present. The party went until the small ours of the morning and we have had a lot of possitiv feed back from our friends and family.

Brian would like to thank you all for the lovely presents and the thoughts on the day.

Our next event will be the silver wedding anniversary on the 9th of July 2009. So if anyone is interested in joining a Harpers party do come over and we will show you how danes celebrate.

Cheers Hella and Brian and kids
