Hey folks - firstly, sorry about the long wait for the latest post. I recently turned 30 (or entered my 4th decade as someone helpfully reminded me) and so I've been busy mourning the loss of my 20s. My 29th year (or 30th on this earth if you want to get fussy) has been a bit of whirlwind, I've moved jobs, moved country, gone through some serious culture shocks and fallen in love - not at all bad for a year's work. However, number 1 on the celebration agenda was to get myself back over to Edinburgh and spend some time with my nearest and dearest.
The party was a hoot and it was so lovely to see everyone there - such a big thank you to everyone for the cards and pressies, and a thanks to Steve for providing some classic party tunes. Marco and Mauro made the trip over from Rome and they had a ball - it's been lovely hearing them tell everyone in Rome how friendly and fun the scots are.
If you click on the photo above then you should (hopefully) be able to view some pics from the evening. The photo above shows Mauro with my Nonna and cousin Sarah, who came over from N. Ireland with her hubby Andrew . You would never know it but Nonna's in the second half of her 70's and she was by far the busiest person on the dancefloor that night - a complete star!
Click on the video below and you'll get a sample of the fab cheesieness of the tunes that evening and a display of some of the finest moves (a-hem) that myself and my girls are so proud of displaying. I should maybe point out here that the group of us in the vid have been friends for many years, we've boogied our way through 16th birthday parties, 18th and 21st birthdays, a couple of weddings and now the 30th birthday parties, and although the hair-dos and clothes may have changed over the years we still manage to do our funny wee dance we always do in a circle together (but this time minus the handbags in the middle and as you'll see we can't quite twist our bodies to the floor anymore). We're so not cool, but we're proud!
