My Mum’s Birthday Surprise. My Sunday Photo

In my blog post yesterday I wrote to say it was my mum’s birthday and we had planned a surprise. The surprise was something she had hinted that she would love to do, ans I guess it was to cross one off her bucket list. No! It’s not bungee jumping, paragliding or a parachute jump, or anything totally thrilling or dangerous. It was something much more sedate! A ride in a stretch limo.

This is something my mum has wanted to do ever since the limo became a popular way to celebrate a special occasion such as a birthday.

We had a few issues with the limo hire, but thankfully my wife found a brilliant company based about 30 miles from us called Singletons. We spoke to them on the Friday night and everything was arranged for Saturday afternoon. I wouldn’t have any hesitation recommending them. They are totally brilliant, and completely professional.

My Mum, when she left the house and started to walk up the driveway was in genuine shock that this massive stretch limo was parked outside her house, and it was all for her! She was definitely struggling to believe it!

We had a fantastic journey down to where we were going to have lunch, and I had the photo taken when we arrived with my mum standing alongside the limo.

Another big bonus for me on such a special occasion is that I managed to have all of my five children together in one place. I actually think it must be a year since this has last happened so of course I couldn’t let it go without a photo. This is really rare, especially as the older ones are now leading such busy lives.

We all had a fabulous day and made my mum’s birthday a particularly special day.
