I don't fancy big parties. I used to. But since being "hooked up" I much prefer small parties of close families and friends.
This Chinese New Year, we've attended family gatherings - on both sides. So that's done.
Yesterday, Fred and I hosted a very small gathering of 10 + 1 for Chinese New Year and a secret birthday celebration. Thanks for bringing the food and drinks Janet, Teresa, Rosie, Mervyn & Christine.

Birthday girl still doesn't know this is her birthday celebration. She insists on getting a pink spoon for her pudding.
