Re: Happy Birthday Nigel!!
Happy Birthday, Nigel! Have a fabulous day!
To paraphrase from The Boy Next Door:
They were all on the house-boat at eleven o' clock. Nigel was already there, looking as twinkly (or wrinkly! ) as ever. On the table was the biggest birthday cake the Blytonites had ever seen! It was really enormous and had pink-and-white icing all over it.
"No candles!" said Ming, in astonishment.
"I'm too old to have all my candles on," said Nigel. "I'm fifty-eight today - and no cake would hold so many candles."
"Oh, aren't you old!" said Pippa-Stef. "Never mind - you're very nice."
"Thank you," said Nigel. "Now - who will have a slice of my birthday cake with me? What you, Barney? Dear, dear, to think of a dog liking birthday cakes. No, get down and wait your turn, Barney. Ladies first, please! Oh, Tony, get the beer and ginger-beer, will you? I've put it all in a bucket of ice to keep cool, down in the cabin."
Well, that was a feast! Enormous slices of the creamiest birthday cake the Blytonites had ever eaten - and iced beer or ginger-beer, so cold that it made their throats hurt when it went down. But, as Julie said, it was "a very nice sort of hurt!"

PS. The character celebrating his birthday in The Boy Next Door - Mr. Cunningham - was considerably younger!
