There were two fat roast chickens, roasted rainbow carrots, and buttery brussels sprouts.

There was a big bowl of fluffy mashed potatoes, a lemony pan sauce, and plenty of chilled rose’, to toast to our last first year.

There was a cake with sprinkles and one red candle, and a little girl to blow it out (with the assistance of her big brother).

I hope she takes on everything in life with such gusto.
