Last year my niece set the bar and hosted her 50th in February at her home in Queensland.
Pilot nephew followed in December with his 30th in Cairns, so I figured time to bring the Qld clan to Melbourne for my 70th in June.
Initial plan was for the extended Flyfrequently fam to head north to the Sunny Coast and my brother would play host - but his house is on the market and our gkids were in the middle of year 10 & 12 exams.
Time to rethink this celebration.
Now, I haven't always had a good run over the past 20 years with my birthday. Mum died for my 50th (made for a ripper of a wake though!)
Ended up in ICU for my 55th, 60 wasn't too bad, though it was Dad's last party and of course 65 brought Covid - remembering I live in Victoria
!
Times in between though, I have been very fortunate to be well and celebrate birthdays in Paris, Valencia, Ventimiglia and Bali.
But family is important, so the plan was hatched - Melbourne it is.
