👑❤️ Happy Birthday to the Queen of the Family! ❤️👑
Yes, folks, we've got a very special birthday in the family today because it's our lovely Kelly's birthday! 🎂🥳
Now, before I go any further, I should probably mention that Kelly has given me VERY strict instructions not to post anything about her birthday on Facebook.
So naturally, I've done what I do best after 30 years together and completely ignored every single word she's said! 😂😂
You see, unlike me, Kelly absolutely HATES being the centre of attention. She doesn't like a fuss, doesn't like having her photograph taken and certainly doesn't appreciate me plastering her all over Facebook for thousands of people to see.
In fact, whenever I post anything involving her, she normally spends the next half an hour moaning at me, occasionally throwing in a few colourful words that probably aren't suitable for a family-friendly page! 🤣
But do you know what?
I don't care!
Because I love her, our family loves her, and I know so many of you lovely people love her too, so there was absolutely NO WAY we were letting her birthday slip by without inviting the entire Social media family to wish her a happy birthday! ❤️
Now, unfortunately, there won't be any big birthday celebrations this evening, or even this weekend for that matter.
Why?
Because she'll be working her little socks off between The Cherry Tree and The Chippy all weekend!
Although, knowing Kelly, she wouldn't have it any other way.
I mean, who needs a lovely romantic meal in a fancy restaurant, a nice bottle of w**e and a relaxing evening being spoiled by your husband when you can spend your birthday elbow-deep in fish batter and surrounded by chips? 😂🐟🍟
Living the dream, darling. Living the dream!
But all joking aside, I want to say something about this incredible woman.
After 30 years together, I can honestly say she just keeps getting better with age.
She's the absolute backbone of our family, the person who keeps everything ticking along behind the scenes and the one who somehow manages to put up with me, which, let's be honest, deserves some sort of national recognition on its own! 😂❤️
She's hardworking, loyal, caring, ridiculously stubborn and has a heart of gold, even if she does occasionally look at me like she'd quite happily bury me underneath the sand dunes !
And while there might be a few little improvements on the horizon (nothing major, just a mini service and a quick MOT! 🤣), I reckon she's looking pretty bloody good for 47!
Thirty years together, a beautiful family, a lifetime of memories and more adventures still to come.
I wouldn't change a thing.
Well, perhaps the nagging, but we can't have everything, can we? 😂
So from me, our family, our friends and all the wonderful people who've supported us over the years…
❤️ HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KELLY! ❤️
We love you to bits, and I hope you have the most wonderful day, even if you are spending most of it working!
And finally, folks, I've got one little favour to ask.
If you're heading into The Chippy tonight and you happen to see Kelly, PLEASE make sure you wish her a great big HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Make a proper fuss of her!
She'll be absolutely FUMING with me, and quite frankly, that's half the fun! 😂😂❤️
Love you, Ken! 😘🎂
