Yesterday was my birthday - born in the year 1959. To celebrate I decided to host a Mamma Mia Greek IslandTheme birthday party set at a Local Taverna in my home town and asking all the guests to dress Island style. The fabulous ambience, terrific music and food made my birthday super special, A big thank you to all mylot friends that tapped into the FB feed and sent greetings - that was special too. According to Google, turning SIXTY years of age is, in fact, a milestone: " This birthday is a major milestone in some cultures as well. In China, for example, someone who has arrived at the age of 60 is considered to have completed a full life cycle. The 60th birthday is commemorated with such great extravagance because following the 60th year, the person celebrates a new life." Most interesting and henceforth I am starting a NEW LIFE! Brilliant to know. Photograph by Juniper Photography - my daughter has given me permission to use.

Congratulations Lany, you look fabulous for 60. Love that top. Doesn't the time slip on by? - I'll be 80 in 3 weeks time

@Inlemay Lany - 60 is a good age - you have accumulated wisdom and experience and the body is not too decrepit. Enjoy this next decade - I know I did.

@jaboUK I am to do just that - I have started swimming with vigour - setting goals, not to mention playing bowls all the way

Oh my word time does fly - it was just the other day we met and 80 wasn't near ! My top came directly from Greece via a honeymoon couple here in SA. It has a beautiful story behind it. I will wear it with fond memories often

Well done you, I am 69 so you are a youngster compared to me. That sounds like a lovely party. For 60 I had a ladies only party, including my granddaughters, daughter, daughter in laws and a few friends at a tea room.
