I Enjoy A Wonderful Birthday
I have been so busy, writing about our experiences in Australia, that I completely overlooked the two very happy birthday occasions celebrated by Wendy and me, on our return.
My birthday came first, and what a great day I enjoyed, celebrating it with wonderful company: Bob and Wendy, a phone call from Al, and calls from dear friends in Australia, Germany, Austria and America. Added to all these blessings, I received cards and e-mails from lovely people all over the world, wishing me well and a happy birthday. What a great day.
I got up nice and early, so I didn't have to rush to be ready to enjoy the day, and Wendy came over in good time to come with us to the Beefeater for lunch. First, though, I had a great time opening my presents; everything so thoughtfully chosen, and made and sent with love. This little selection of photographs shows a perfect day:

sent by Al and Dani (and the (very!!) cheeky birthday card!)
and a bouquet from Bob:

Back home, Wendy decorated a delicious birthday cake for me:
(And she didn't have to warn the Fire Brigade in advance!)
