Gary's 40th, London and Paris

Hannah got me!!!

I knew I was going to London and Paris to see friends and to sightsee for my birthday but I had no idea of the amazing party Hannah had arranged for me.

We flew to London on the Thursday and met up with some friends for my birthday drinks in London on the Friday night.  We went into London again on the Saturday to meet my sister and daughters for high tea.  In the evening we were going to a bar for a friends 30th party (genuinely) - little did I know that I was I was being taken to MY 40th instead.

When we arrived at the bar, unexpectingly I was pushed through a curtain where all my friends were hiding wearing masks of me and shouting surprise - very funny and somewhat freaky. It could have been even funnier as Hannah didnt realise there were steps behind the curtain when she pushed me.....not the most graceful entrance :)

It was so good to see so many friends I haven't seen for such a long time.  People had travelled so far it was quite emotional I am really humbled.  Given most of you are nearly the big 40/30 I hope can return the thought and surprise sometime soon :)  

Enjoy the pics...
