Not old yet. Only 4 years older than my Dad was when he had me and definitely still not a grown up. But the mirror says time is taking a toll and even though my children are small for their age they are definitely creeping up past my shoulder height…
I lazed in bed this morning until my Mum rang me. She rings every year at 10,10am the time I was born. So I spoke to her and then got up. Ady made me tea and I opened the cards that had arrived in the post – one from my parents and one from Frazer, Kat and Robin. Carole and Paul had bought me a pair of earrings from the craft shop so I opened them and then the kids gave me the pressies from Ady and them. I got a glass cutter (I have plans to make glasses from recycled wine bottles, both for selling and for using ourselves / gifts and maybe even as building blocks for a feature in the house). I’m looking forward to playing with that when we get back. I also got a photo mug.
We had some lunch and then Vikki came up – she brought me a card with a posh teabag and a wine voucher in it and had offered me a birthday bath which I declined as I want to fully appreciate the bath in the holiday cottage tomorrow :). Vikki stayed for a chat and then walked down to the car with us as Sandy had rung earlier and invited us down. The kids decided to stay home and play so we called in for a cup of tea and quick chat with Fliss and Sandy who had made me some soap,some bubble bath and some chocolates 🙂 – love home made gifts the most :).
Then home for dinner. Ady had made me a cake which was lovely and we had roast pork and watched at Attenborough thing on iplayer.
It’s been a really nice day 🙂
