In February 1969 two fresh faced young men, accompanied by two elegant fiancees held a 21st Birthday Party in New Hutton Village Hall. It was a bitterly cold night, which got even colder when the electricity went off. I can't remember if we got by with the light from candles till it was restored, but I do remember the band (live music - no disco then) went down the pub to keep warm.
This is rather an old scabby photo, but note the two identical cakes, and stacks of cups and saucers.
There's no celebration tonight (Henry has a Parish Councilors' training meeting), but tomorrow the four of us are off out to somewhere with good food, good wine and roaring fires

Belated Happy Birthday from cousin Judith and her lovin' hubbie Derek here in just-as-freezing France (no snow here this year, again).
Hope you enjoyed your meal.
