This weekend I celebrated my 28th birthday. Cameron made me a fantastic comic style card which I adore!
We went to Granny Karen's house which was a 7 hour round trip on the train - really hard for me to do, and exhausting - but worth it to see family we don't see very often. Cameron was particularly pleased to be able to talk Pokemon with his Uncle, who has vast knowledge on the subject!
They baked a huge chocolate cake and sang to me before I blew the candles out. I think the last time that happened for me I was about 16!
We went for a walk and collected conkers and had lovely home made hot chocolate.
On Sunday Grandad took us out to a garden centre and I chose an apple tree for the allotment for my birthday present.
We are still tired out from the travelling! We're going to try and catch up on some things at home this week but we seem to have more things planned again - it's funny how we bumble along for months at a time just by ourselves and then other times we barely get a minute to catch up with ourselves! I have Christmas projects in the pipeline too - I love the festive season but it's creeping up so fast this year. I wish things would slow down a bit so I have time to really savour the season.
belated happy birthday Hannah

ReplyDeleteHappy Belated birthday!! (I've had no time to read everyones blogs--yours is the 2nd one I've managed to catch up on!!) Lovely cake!
ReplyDeleteCan you keep your tree in a pot? We had 3 in pots for awhile--because that way if you move etc.. you can bring it with you. They did pretty good--and you really don't want them producing too much fruit till they are bigger. (Per Monty Don!)
Thanks Elizabeth - I'm way behind on my blog reading too.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't thought of keeping the tree in a pot - that's not a bad idea!
