@Shaz51 @Smc @Ripples @TiredL @Flurry0306 Looks yummy! Reminds me of my father's 80th birthday. It was lockdown so there was only my father, mother and myself. I gave Dad a high tea by ordering online. I ordered a three tear porcelain plate from eBay and used my grandmother's China and filled it with cakes, slices, sandwiches, pasties, pies and sausage rolls which I ordered online. I made some lemon curd tarts to go white it and ordered a big 80 th Birthday cake, most of which went in the freezer. We had a feast! Only sorry family and friends couldn't join us.

Hey @Shaz51 Bunkering down for a cold frosty night here. Had a delicious herb baked fish for dinner. Fires going, snuggly dressing gown and slippers on and expecting a frost in the morning so may just be extra nice to myself and sleep in a little tomorrow. Hope you are having a relaxing evening. 🙏
