We had a great party in our rather chilly garden on Saturday to mark Chris' 40th birthday. Our families, friends from afar and local buddies all gathered to help Chris celebrate. The kids bounced away on the bouncy castle and everyone seemed to have a good time! Chris discovered his surprise present from me and the kids.....an entry to Ironman Western Australia in December and flights booked for the four of us. We will meet with Simon, Shilpa and the boys in Malaysia and they'll continue with us to Perth. Simon will then race with Chris in the Ironman. Chris seemed pretty chuffed in his usual understated way! Jean had made an wonderful cake with an Ironman Australia theme which everyone was amazed at, then ate!
