Thirty years ago today we enjoyed Louisa’s seventh birthday party at Lindum House. Today I completed the scanning of photographs taken on that day.
These are from a mix of colour negatives and prints, because I have still not found all the negatives. The prints were made commercially and therefore suffer from a little cropping as is common from such sources.
Kate, our teenaged emcee, organised a variety of active games which all put their hands up for.
The day was warm and sunny enough for Jessica to organise the important business of scoffing at the kitchen table taken out to the lawn.
This is your Birthday Card, Louisa.
Lots of love, from Dad XX
I could practically hear the childrens’ giddy laughter at the party and the cake! Such happy memories, Derrick. Happy Birthday, Louisa

Aw, I cannot think of a better present than my daddy writing such a post. What wonderful memories! I have never seen flowers on the table at a children’s birthday party. What a lovely touch. And is that castle a cake?
Happy birthday to Louisa!
Thanks very much, Jodie. I think it must be a cake. I’ll have to ask her.
