at the weekend my eldest niece turned nine. as the auntie who lives round the corner i volunteered my services for the art of making afternoon tea (read kids tea party) and helping transform the garden into a party space (read adults loving bunting and paper decorations and not being afraid to use them). with friends who are cheerleaders in attendance the garden soon filled up with kids doing lifts and kicks and generally throwing themselves around in a way that left us wondering if we were ever that flexible (in a word, no). the sun shone, there was much playing and laughter, sweets for dessert and a big chocolate birthday cake. it was exactly what a nine year old had asked for and she loved it.
