I know they say that – and it’s true – but nothing beats a birthday where the people who love you go out of their way (and some way out of their pocket) to give you gifts that will bring masses of joy and pleasure.
Look at that; 1000’s of hours of reading, knitting, lovely smelly baths, candlelight relaxing and peace. I’m a very lucky girl.
Josie made me a family of fairies, Maddy a candle holder I have yet to photograph and all of them took great care in planning nice meals and lovely things today.
Fran made me a cake – yummy 🙂
It’s been one of my best ever birthdays (I didn’t even get older, we moved my birthday from later in the week to today for convenience!) and that is saying something. It might have been different, but since it wasn’t, they made it lovely.
I ADORE my Kindle; it’s definitely going to be a massive hit 🙂
Thank you all, my darlings. I’ve been well and truly spoiled.
Happy unbirthday 🙂
Beautiful yarn! You are going to love that kindle! I think it changed how I read in so many ways! I always said I would never get one.. but I caved and never looked back!
Happy Birthday….
I thought you were going to be getting a kindle after the hint the other day. They are brilliant – I love reading mine in bed with the lights out!
Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday! Your gifts look (and sound) fabulous!
Merry, when you’ve had a chance to play with it, can you do a review of the kindle please? I’d love to know how you get on with it…Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Merry, enjoy your lovely presents, hope they inspire you to find some time to relax and treat yourself!
oooooo what lovely pressies! The cake looks delicious and I just love the fairy family. They are adorable. Enjoy your gifts and I hope you have a wonderful birthday. xo
was confused then but then saw you posted yesterday. Thought birthday wishes for you earlier. Glad you had a fab time. xx
It feels weird to be saying “Happy Birthday” to anyone in
our situation, but it looks like your family did manage to bring
you some happiness. Enjoy those lovely presents.
A belated Happy Birthday, Merry. What lovely gifts. I’m glad you were properly pampered 🙂
Thank you all – we went away straight after I posted this but I appreciated all the good wishes 🙂
