this is me at a few weeks old
and here I think I'm about 4 - my parents are not good at writing dates on the back of photos.
and according to my sister who chose this card this is obviously me now! (if only I was so glamourous)
I got some lovely treats including this great book,
pretty jewels
tea and cake related items!
and the cutest new pets from dottycookie - thank you so much!
this one is after my chocolate brownie, which is a temporary stand in for my birthday cake. M&S let me down, and didn't have a gluten free chocolate and cherry cake, which is pretty much the only edible gluten free cake you can buy, so right now there's a lemon drizzle cake in the oven, I'll cut you all a slice when it's cool and you're all invited to my party!
fancy dress optional.
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, T, hope you have been thoroughly spoilt and had your feet up! (you timed it well with the estate agents as well-hope you aren't doing any housework, young lady!)The Sarah Raven book is fabulous, I can highly recommend some very tasty recipes from it, especially the braised chicory on page 25! and the courgette chutney..lots of inspiring stuff in there!x
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Hope you have a great day! x
ReplyDeleteIt's Sarah Raven! Happy, happy birthday! K x
ReplyDeleteHippo Bathday! Hope you get to eat lots of cake (gluten free, of course!)
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day! If it is Lemon Drizzle Cake straight from the oven then you can expect me at any moment.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos and fab birthday treats! Hope you had a really magic day and the lemon drizzle made up for m & s's rubbishness.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you, you kept that quiet. I notice no recent picture though. I was just reading a Blog about Sarah Ravens garden but can't remember where it was, just found it http://kristinasjollyhockeysticks.blogspot.com/
