I Enjoy A Great Birthday!
I am so very fortunate to be surrounded by people who love me and who go to great lengths to make my special day very special indeed - and this year was no exception!
Everyone makes such efforts to make sure I have a wonderful time, and I have been blessed with calls and cards from all my dear friends and loved ones.
We had lunch at our favourite restaurant:
And when we got back home, Wendy produced a beautiful sponge cake, filled with buttercream and jam, which she then decorated with happy words and candles - not, of course, so many that she would have had to pre-warn the fire brigade! When they were all lit, they made a brilliant show; there were also two "numbers" sparklers (indoor fireworks), which fizzed with great energy, and a fountain firework which cascaded magnificently for quite a while.
Then it was time for unwrapping presents and cards;
I am always touched and delighted with the way everyone is so kind and thoughtful - I enjoyed everything!
My beautiful birthday bouquet, from Michael and Kathy - Michael is the only person on the planet who is allowed to call me "Auntie Alex"!!
