Bunches.

We all had a lay in this morning, which meant that the menfolk had to rush to get to rugby. I saved my birthday celebrations until they returned, and went for a blustery 9 mile run while I waited.

I have never had so many flowers!! This is one of 3 vases. I also had some none floral gifts, ranging from freshly laid eggs, to clothes, and a tassimo coffee machine (from my sister, Anna). My youngest sister, Jo, sent me a packet of our mam’s (Rington’s ) ginger biscuits, so we don’t have to carefully avoid eating the last one. We went for a late Sunday lunch at The Gun, and I walked home to make the most of the day.

Extras include celebrations and cakes with family and friends
