Arlo turned eight over the weekend. Here are a few photos from the party we threw for him, which was a 'medieval banquet' with a spot of archery and sword fighting (with flax sticks) on the side. The banquet involved 'bread plates', potatoes and meat on bones and 'wine' in our best goblets.
It was a lot of fun to prepare for together, even if Tom and I did leave it to rather the last minute (ahem, including making the cake an hour before- thank you, universe, for bought sponge cakes), it poured with rain and I was a tad worried about 11 children in a park with an archery set. But it all went well, Sir Arlo the Brave Knight was pleased, and we don't have to do it for another year. Phew. Happy birthday, little A.
