Sunday 6 April – Nana’s 70th Birthday

Distance travelled: not much, just to church and the park and back

First thing in the morning I gave my Nana a monstrous hug and said happy birthday because today we turned 70!

We went to church but not in the church building, it was in the church hall instead. Nana took cake to share (because it was her birthday obviously). I did some colouring with my sister, and then turned mine into a paper aeroplane.

After church we went to the park while my Mum and Aunt decorated my Nana’s house with balloons and stuff. We came back and had a specially prepared meal of Lebanese food. There was chicken, hummus, pita and some things I couldn’t name but was tasty. I really liked the chicken.

A smiling older woman with curly gray hair is sitting at a table outdoors, celebrating a birthday. She is wearing a blue shirt and a pink birthday ribbon. In front of her is a colorful birthday cake with candles, a decorated plate, a box, and several glasses. She is holding a phone and appears joyful during the celebration.

We had lunch with Nana’s friend David and also a Ukrainian mum and child who are staying with him. They can’t live at home in Ukraine because of the war which is really sad.

Then my Dad’s brother and sister went back to London and we watched a film. It was called Hook and I’d never seen it before. It’s a new way of telling the Peter Pan story and I enjoyed it.
