Our son is 30 today. We can’t be with him but I hope he knows he is the light of our lives. We have a set of 3 of these bottles, one blue, one pink and this one, which was a gift from him. Empty now, of course, but we’ll be raising a glass to him later, by Lamplight. Happy birthday!

I remember my son’s 30th party, goodness nearly years ago. How quickly time passes as we get older.
Was the wine as good as the bottle is lovely?

That is so kind of you. Careerwise he isn’t where he’d like to be, but he’s found himself a lovely lass and little boy, and they have great friends. That’s good enough for me. 🙂 🙂

Better a life well lived and full of love than a big career …and my guess is that he will get where he wants to be career wise in the coming years.

I understand how your son is the light of your lives, Jo. What a blessing! My heart warms thinking of you being separated from him on his special day, but knowing how far those bonds of love reach without any sign of strain. Cheers to a special young man and his parents!

Such a youngster still! D’s daughter turned 30 just before Christmas whereas A turned 40 in December – Margaret is right, having a 40 year old makes you feel old, but then you know that too! Sounds like he is having a good day. When will they be back out for a visit? And a pretty lamplight too. 😁

Just been talking to him. Lauren surprised him with a meal at a posh place in Leeds at lunchtime and he loves all that. Building a Lego Millennium Falcon this evening. We are over there 5th April for a week to look after the youngster and they come to us for Spring Bank. We were out with Marie this evening so I have raised several glasses 🙃🍷💕

My boys had a Millennium Falcon when they were very small, not Lego, but still a very lovely toy. Not so long before you see them again. Any date set yet for the wedding? ❓🤨

So did he. Always loved Star Wars. He was on page 106 of 200+ instructions when we talked last night! It’s complicated stuff these days 🙂 🙂 Not for a year or two yet.

Empty????? What sort of parents are you?? 🙂 Relatively nice play on the light theme (see what I did there?) 🙂 Perhaps our favorite red wine is from Portugal, Quinta do Crasto (https://quintadocrasto.pt/destaques/?lang=en#).
Happy birthday to your son.

Jo, an exquisite bottle and had to smile at the type of wine “whitey vine”! Where is the light coming from? It seems to glow from inside. Hope your son has an amazing birthday and that you’ll see him soon to celebrate again!😀
