I’d never been a gambler, but was thrilled to have a belated birthday celebration with my mum, Julie, then 55, my sister Gemma, 31, cousin Emma, 33, and my best friend Sabrina, also 33.
‘Would you like a photo for best dressed?’ a photographer said.
Can this day get any better? I smiled, adjusting my fascinator as the photographer snapped away.
