Birthday Time Again! 91st Birthday – Yes, really!
It’s Birthday time again, how does it come around so quickly? Daphne is celebrating her 91st today and yet it feels like yesterday we were celebrating her 90th with a big party – 90 Years Young.
Daphne’s 91st Birthday
Last week we were having tea with a friend and were saying that it must be a whole year since we were last together. Shockingly, to find on checking that it was actually three and not one – how does that happen? Time relentlessly marches forward and sometimes it feels hard to keep up. Babies are grown adults in the blink of an eye. And policemen are getting younger? Is this just a British saying or does it cross the world and other cultures?
So, it’s another birthday for Daphne. Birthday time already and she is celebrating her 91st Birthday with a girlie coffee morning this time. Daphne chose the location of the beautiful old town of Hitchin. Hitchin with its ancient architecture and history is a hippy chic bohemian kind of place. One that Daphne fits into perfectly and has always been comfortable in.
Fashion Show in London
The day before was a glamorous afternoon with the Grand Order of the Lady Ratlings. GOLR is a charity with members from across the theatrical professions raising funds for people facing hardship whilst having enormous fun. At the Amba Hotel, Charing Cross, London for afternoon tea and a fashion show. The models were all Lady Ratlings and Daphne as one of them happy to be one of them walking the floor. Along with Daphne was a variety of singers, dancers and entertainers plus one other model, Sue.
Daphne isn’t doing any catwalks anymore but here she is amongst friends with her sister Ratlings and delighted to be included doing what comes naturally.
What identities do you have in your wardrobe?
What identities do you have in your wardrobe? This was a question asked by one of the members of the new Selfe Aware Club (an online community for women who love fashion, beauty & a healthy lifestyle). And a new phrase was born! We realised while writing this that we have covered two of Daphne’s! Her bohemian hippy chic look which is all flowing, colourful and comfortable. Plus her glam model London look. What looks to do you have – can you identify them?

Thank you for the wonderful pictures and videos. Daphne is my role model. The clothes are beautiful. She looks so good in everything.
Happy Birthday. And have a great summer.
Norma
Thank you Norma, Yes, I can confirm Daphne does look good in everything! Sometimes it’s hard being the daughter following on behind. On the other hand, I have the best to learn from – still learning and passing it on. It’s never too late….
Hoping you are having a very special day today, Happy Birthday.
My sister and friends had the pleasure of meeting you at Denman earlier in the year when we had a splendid day with you and Clair
Daphne had a wonderful day and we both had such a great afternoon at Denman. We’re so glad you enjoyed it.
