Happy Birthday Mr O!
Good food, good wine, good friends and family: what else are good birthdays made of! Mr O recently celebrated his birthday and we had a small, casual BBQ gathering to celebrate.
Birthday Cake
Miss O 1 and I spent hours dashing around buying food, birthday cards, balloons, candles and a cake! Lucky for us Mr O had to dash to the hardware store to get pegs for the canopy (it was a VERY hot day) so we managed to decorate a little in green and white (Nigeria’s colours) with balloons on the balustrade. We hid the cake until later in the evening. 
The Man of the Hour
Today I happened upon a great poem which I like very much on VeehCirra’s site: A True African Man. It sums up my husband for me.
May we share many more birthdays, my darling.

Glad he celebrated his big day in style.
Low key style. BIG style may have to wait until the big 5 0
He looks so happy. What a wonderful day.
He does, doesn’t he? Most of the photos weren’t really that great unfortunately, but I think those two gave an indication of the spirit of the day!
That cake looks so yummy, is that chocolate dripping like that? Happy Birthday to you!!! That party sounds like it was much fun
Thanks for the shout out Robyn.
Yes, it was chocolate.
You are welcome, I liked your poem, very timely!
Happy Birthday Blessings to you Mr. O! What a lovely looking cake.
