A belated happy birthday from the little boy who lived opposite you in Albert Family Dwellings and used to crash up and down the stairs much to the annoyance to your two aunts who lived below.
Doreen (Delaney) and i are so pleased to see you looking well.
Love and laughter,
Mick and Doreen
P.S. Pass on our best wishes to Fay.

Mavis, you look absolutely wonderful at 90 yrs old, but I am envious of your skirt! Wishing you a belated Happy birthday, and a hope of many more of them to come.

You look beautiful and glamorous as ever. Such a feminine blouse made with love by your niece and your inspiring vintage skirt sent me off to my fabric treasure chest.

This captivating article and stunning photos lifted my heart and made me feel l was actually there celebrating your extra special day.

Ai Murata’s mouthwatering cake is a masteriece set off by the pristine white linen.

I cannot believe, at last, l will be at Dennis Severs house this Saturday and l will leave a birthday card there for you.

My very favourite photo is the final one of you sitting sparkling in the damask chair, lit up by your coral + pink roses. I hope you frame that one.

Congratulations ! on being ‘as sharp as a blade’ and continuing the enjoyment of making people laugh.

This is one of the best ever occasions l have enjoyed on Spitalfields Life.

And perhaps someday we will learn how Mr. Severs and his friends crafted these interiors of delight! Or mustn’t we let in daylight upon magic?
