It was Ang's 60th birthday last Wednesday. He didn't want to have a party and was just happy to have his kids over for dinner. Which is what we did. However unbeknown to Ang we decided that you can't turn 60 without a reasonable gathering. We booked the restaurant 1912 at Riverlea Winery and invited our close family for lunch but kept it a secret from Ang. Ron our best friend told Ang he had a great promotional deal at Riverlea, a 3 course meal plus drinks for $20. Well Ang couldn't pass up a great deal like that.
He tried to tell Ron that he was going the wrong way. We entered through the front gates and parked were VIP guests park. All our invited guests entered through the back gates parking at the back of the restaurant.
As Ang entered the restaurant there was a resounding "SURPRISE!!!" sung by all the guests inside. Ang was quite shocked and a little overwelmed.
It was a delightful lunch. We had the restaurant all to ourselves. The atmoshere was enhanced by the open fire and the candles burning on the tables and its sheer cosyness. Food and wine was good and everyone had a great day.
Jacob and Kim even gave a speech.
After lunch everyone came back to our home where the party continued. At this stage I'm not sure how it went as I was rather pickled myself. Looking at the photos though it seemed we all had a good day especially Ang.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANG!
