london staycation all-in-one birthday party

we had our london staycation party last night & i do believe a smashing good time was had by all!
(as i've mentioned before, we have 1 birthday every winter to celebrate our 8 grown children's birthdays. we have a theme that we try to carry out with fun & food.)

this year's menu:

arthur treacher's fish & chips

fado's irish pub fare of salmon bites, corned beef roll-ups, cheese dip & boxtys, their fish and chips, shepherd pie, pulled lamb french dip, & bangers & mash.

we were so busy eating that i forgot to take a picture of the food, except for the trifle.

the girls were treated with shopping at harrod's (our own little version) with jams, digestives, clouted cream, teas, etc.

everyone had fun with their elton john sunglasses & james bond walther p99 squirt guns.

we listened to the beatles.

& we laughed & laughed & laughed.

oh, how i love them all (& the grandbabies, too!)
