Friendships, wine, and Erik, improve with time.
Friends and family came from near and far, to celebrate Erik's 25th Anniversary of his 25th year. The party began early in the afternoon without Erik. He was mountain biking in the forest, trying to avoid being hit by the shuttle bus. Thankfully he wasn't hurt.
More and more people arrived, and others had to go. Erik had asked for a small party, so there were less than 40 here at any one time.
A pot luck dinner, what a wonderful collection of food. Jeanette's kumara bake was sensational, and Bridget gave me the recipe for her roasted tomato salad. Yum Yum!

I made a bit of a mistake making Erik's birthday cake. The coconut meringue cake was too firm to push the candles in (totally delicious though).
Not quite a disaster, as the pavlova became centre stage.
We needed 4 people to light the candles, and Tighe helped by blowing most of them out, when he blew his match out...so Yvonne, Anneke, Tighe and Peter had to light them again!
Happy Birthday Erik.
I hope this year is full of fun and adventures. I love you wonderful man.
