title Fred's Fifth Birthday, The Village Hall, Brome, Suffolk - 28th September 2013 intro It's Fred's Fifth birthday, so to celebrate the occasion Isobel hires the village hall in Brome, complete with the DJ Shagz disco experience (which goes down quite well with the parents, at least). The entire set of Aunties is in town - Evelyn, Da Wheeze, Sis and Mel, all of whom help to herd the flock of about 35 children around (which according to Nosher's revised 2^(n/2) law makes for an "apparent child count" of about 130,000 - which seems about right, volume-wise at least). Highlight of the day is surely a special flyast from Fred's favourite WWII P-51D Mustang Janie, which buzzes the hall a couple of times. This is thanks to "Chickens" Clive's tip-off to Maurice Mustang Hammond, who's flying back to Hardwick from a sortie somewhere. imgp4150 Fred blows out cupcake candles imgp4154 Fred has a blow imgp4155 Boris - Stripey Cat - sits on the car imgp4157 Boris jumps off imgp4160 Harry walks on oak timbers imgp4161 Harry walks around by Grandad imgp4164 Harry goes for a trundle imgp4166 Grandad heads off imgp4170 The party starts at Brome Village Hall imgp4172 First things first: a paper aeroplane session imgp4177 More paper planes imgp4180 Matthew shows off his plane imgp4183 Clare and Jack wander in to the kitchen imgp4186 There's a bit of dancing imgp4192 Louise does stick-on tattoos imgp4194 Isobel preps for a Janie flypast imgp4200 Grandad blows bubbles imgp4202 Harry - Baby Gabey - roams around outside imgp4205 P51D Mustang "Janie" tears around the sky above imgp4206 The crowds throng in the car park the flypast imgp4207 Returning to the village hall imgp4210 Back in the village hall imgp4215 Quality food: cheese puffs, hotdogs and pizza imgp4218 Fred sits on the end imgp4220 Isobel in the kitchen imgp4225 Rosie dances around imgp4226 Grandad's in amongst it imgp4229 Clive sips some coffee imgp4235 Fred's amazing cake, complete with a Janie imgp4239 Fred's cake comes out imgp4242 Candles are blown out imgp4254 Jessica looks up imgp4259 The kitchen is full of balloons imgp4263 Fred's present pile imgp4265 Gabes dances with Jessica imgp4276 Grandad and Matthew under a pile of balloons imgp4291 Harry's found a good hidey-hole imgp4303 Fred sticks his arms up imgp4304 Fred and some balloons imgp4309 Fred dances alone with balloons imgp4312 The icing Janie
