My big birthday

Well, this year I reached a little milestone, and was somewhat uncertain about how I'd feel about that. And I must confess I was somewhat up and down about it. It's seems to be a time to take stock of your life and think about where you are heading. But hey-ho, time waits for no man (nor woman!) so after an emotional start, I had a lovely surprise in that my two sisters had flown over to help me celebrate my birthday. And what a brilliant surprise that was! It was alas a short visit, but we decided to head up to London for a fun day out! Came home with an unexpected permanent memento on my shoulder from my trip with my very naughty sisters :o)

Me and my sister Tania
Lunch at Camden Lock with my two sisters, Tania and Lea
Time to do something different, being eaten by fish!
Although I am not generally happy about 'using' animals for human entertainment, I had a good chat with the owner to ensure they are kept in good conditions, and they certainly all looked in good health.
We wandered around the market, and discovered that this shop had just THE most fantastic clothes! Could have come home with one of everything!

Liked the key display

Unusual building decorations
We then headed off to the London Eye, to have a look over the city!

Not sure who that man was??? But he was happy to pose in the photo, cheeky chap!

Marvelous view over the Thames


Houses of Parliament

When we got home from London, a family party awaited, complete with roasted chicken, salad and 'proper' chips, followed by a slice of Danish lagkage AND a beautiful birthday cake, lucky me!
My beautiful bee birthday cake!
Happy birthday to me!


I also had a lovely surprise birthday party organised by my husband later in June, with all my dear friends, happy times!  :o)

 Here's to the next many years!
