The best day of the year! My birthday ☀

Yes! It's my birthday. I'm 36 and very happy about it too. It is great to be here. I appreciate being here so much having lost two very special people when they were just 20 and 25. I don't want to be maudlin though, I just wanted to emphasise that I am so happy to be seeing my birthday come round each year.



Today I had a lie in, breakfast in bed, a huge swag of wonderful gifts, plenty of messages of well wishes and a pile of cards.

I have just flung a leg of lamb in the Aga and after another cuppa in bed I will get dressed in a new frock (if it fits) that was a gift from Mr C and then I'll bake some bits and bats for Sunday Birthday Tea. Ooooh lovely!

Yesterday I saw My Girls (minus one. Boo) and on Friday I saw Bee. So I will have plenty to record here over the next few posts.

Have a great day one and all, so nice to have you along for the ride, this life is a good one, it's lovely to be able to share it and write it all down here.

    Happy Birthday. Jealous to hear about your cup of tea in bed. This was me a few days ago after I noticed the recently boiled kettle.

    Me: "Thanks for the cup of tea."
    D: "What cup of tea?"
    Me: "Exactly!"
    D: "I wasn't even thinking about you."
    Me: "Apparently!"

    Awwww good to see on here, and instagram, that you had an awesome Birthday! 36? Still such a baby! I stopped wanting to celebrate my birthdays years ago. I really do not like them, and not really for the reasons of getting older either. I would just like them to go past unnoticed. Hard when you have kids though! Any excuse for cake! Lovely that you got see all your friends too for a bit of girly chit chat and shopping! It's always nice to re-charge with girly day!

    Happy belated birthday darling girl! I have been away from my computer for far too long - so I'm sorry I hadn't sent you birthday wishes sooner! It sounded like you had a fab day hon. You don't look a day over 28 (that's the age I've decided to stay for many years, sadly my son is old enough to work out that the maths just doesn't stack up!!).

    See you again soon gorgeous,
    Leah

I do try to get back to everyone but I am rather scatty and I have these 3 big distractions....(and I'm just generally a bit rubbish lately, so please don't feel obliged to leave a note) Sorry about the word verification too, too much spam.
