Since Eric was born, we have every year arranged Eric’s birthday party combined with a summer party at Knightstone Manor. This year unfortunately Mikee was away with her school over the weekend but several of her friends were still present like lots of Eric’s. Altogether we were around 110 guests. Eric’s godmother Camilla came down from London newly ordained as a deacon (See Camilla’s ordination) together with Amanda, her daughter and we had a BBQ the day before.

Tradition is nice, but so is variation. This year we tried to make it a little bit different. Robin (from the Rusty Pig) came with a wooden-fired oven on wheels for making pizza and he taught the children how to make a nice pizza. And Captain Jack Sparrow appeared full of mischief and found a partner in Eric! Finally the party moved to the park as we had laser-tag fights between different teams.

My camera didn’t work properly (providing me with an excuse to exchange it to a new one) and overexposed all pictures. I have tried my best to rescue them, but I didn’t quite succeed, and in a few cases I thought it was nice to keep the image of a lovely day although it may not be up to standard.

Mikee came back in the evening and could join the overnight guests for a dinner and a game of video.
