It is my parents’ 50th anniversary this year, and also a joint celebration for my mum’s birthday.

They have insisted that the dinner event, some 18 tables I hear, to just be a sit-down happy joy joy dinner with close friends and relatives. No stage, no mics, no hoo-ha.
But the grandkids are up to something…..
Some parts of their grand-plan are finalised, others still need the Committee’s approval and budgetary sign-offs

The plans are going well, insofar as my niece’s original plan.
