Happy birthday Ryan!!!

My little bundle of joy 14.5 years ago that I held in my arms is no longer little.

My 15 year old son Ryan is now taller than me (6 feet to be accurate), what can I do to make this thing called time to slow down?!        I have learnt that we have just got to live in the present. Every moment looking back to the past, is a moment wasted.    So ''focus on the now'' is my new general motto.

On June 20th It was Fathers day in the UK so my sister Eve had decided to invite all the fathers of our family for a wee meal to celebrate, that day also happened to be Ryan's 15th.  So, we had ordered a cake, I was thinking of medium size, then Eve goes ''there are 12 of us so order a large one''. I should have checked the measurements, because the cake ended up being a whopping 25 inches in diameter!



The cake is really delicious, its made by a Chinese baker and consists of multiple layers of light sponge sandwiched with fresh cream topped with fresh fruit pieces as you can see! A typical Chinese style cake!

Actually it didn't last long (2 days at most), we joked we would be having it for breakfast, lunch and dinner for the next 2 weeks!  That's after we distributed the rest to colleagues and in laws, friends etc....

At £65 it was well worth the money I would say .  Worth seeing the look on Ryan's face when it came out!





HAPPY 15TH BIRTHDAY RYAN!!
