They say 40 is the new 30 and boy do I believe them

the man known as R.

Last Saturday I celebrated my 40th birthday.
Man.
I can remember my mother turning 40!

It was a beautiful day and we all met in the Beatrixpark in Schiedam. R. and I had been cooking the whole preceding afternoon and that very morning and luckily everyone was hungry.
We set up a tent, spread out the blankets, the kids enjoyed themselves in the nearby playground and talked about life.

Thanks to Richard for showing of (:) his new camera and sending me all the pictures you see here.
