Simply..a lot of cake....

28/4/2021

Cakes, food and wine, flowers and cards, balloons. bunting, sunshine, my birthday was wonderful and the best gift of all was to have my family here Together for the firs time in a long long time.

Relaxing in the sun (Laura nd Scott went for a swim in the loch) it felt almost normal!

The gorgeous cup and saucer is a present from my sister.

I hope you have some good things to celebrate too. I am also celebrating the loss of that five pounds I was aiming to lose between the Easter cake and the birthday cake - keeping it off will be the next challenge.

The next project is an exhibition....

Happy belated birthday wishes
You’ll keep off the weight by living your life - walking by the loch and gardening.

I definitely spent too much time sitting by the fire this winter. I’m enjoying being a bit more active!

What a scrumptious display of birthday 🎉! That new cup is amazing, Freda. I can imagine the glee your sister felt when she found it for you🤗. I couldn’t quit gazing at it. Are you familiar with Samantha Brown who hosts a Travel Program and travels all over the world? She carries with her always a very special teacup because she loves a cup of tea so very much. I would do that with your special birthday cup (if I traveled all over the world).

It was also cheesecake and a coffee and walnut cake would you believe? Thank you for the Samantha Brown suggestion. I will enjoy exploring that.

Samantha & I did a lot of traveling this pandemic season...New Zealand, Sanibel, Quebec, Vienna. She got me out of the house, at least mentally. Good suggestion Mary R.

Oh. my. All that cake. I can see why you planned the 5 lb reduction ahead of your birthday. Glad it was a grand day for you.

I made sure everyone took several pieces of cake home with them! But there is also some in the freezer...

I’m sorry I missed your birthday Freda but it looked like a very good one. We have birthdays in April too. How lovely not to be completely locked down for the second time.
