Emma Duff celebrated her birthday in fine style this weekend. On Saturday there was a dinner at the Birtley Avenue HQ attended by Duffs, Lois & Jayne. The wine and songs flowed in equal measure. The upstairs neighbour is prone to sing along to pop ballads all day long. So he would no doubt have been thrilled by numbers such as "My Brother Sylvest" and "Minnie the Moocher" sung mf - mit feeling!
Today there was a gathering on the beach with the King Edward's Bay swimmers. After the obligatory dip, the swimmers enjoyed a breakfast of coffee, smoked salmon sandwiches, and cake - amongst other culinary delights. It's rude to reveal a lady's age, but a clue is given in one of the photos below. The weather stayed fair, and the sun even came out for 30 minutes. What better way is there to celebrate a birthday?
