I had the pleasure of attending quite a few of Aunty Gloria's birthdays over the years and I would have to say, her 80th was certainly a special one for me.
On this particular occasion, both Sally and I were in Melbourne and on the night, I set out to capture as much of the celebration as I could as an audio recording while Sally wandered around taking photo's of family and friends enjoying the evening.
I was probably a nuisance on the night wandering around with my recorder, but it was certainly worth the effort as they bring a smile to my face now when I listen to all the activity and chatter that occurred during the evening.
I think they are all special moments in time so I have combined some of the highlights from the evening into a 10-minute recording called 'Gloria's 80th Birthday' which is available in the Audio Gallery and includes 'Cake & Candles', 'Speeches' and 'Present Time'.
