Happy birthday to me!

I have been very lucky today, lots of cards and presents. Crafty stuff, a couple of jigsaws, the book I wanted, ‘Run Rose Run’ and some other bits, all good and many useful. A nice selection of cards.
Should have said that I was also given some scratch cards and won over £30! Lucky lady.
Tina took me over to Bemora across the road for lunch, I had the super matcha green tea and the meal was delicious.


I went to collect my winnings and then went round to help at the Families at Three group. Not too bad today as the children played outside quite a lot. When I came back I had a cuppa and a piece of the very tasty birthday cake with Darren. Forgot to take a picture before we cut it!
I went out into the garden for a while, working on the bed by the greenhouse. I not only have the Easter card to ‘plant’ now but I also got a butterfly bomb with wild flower seeds to attract the butterflies that needs a good clean bed for planting. This bed is very, very weedy with ground elder as well as other invasive plants so it will need digging over several times before the planting,


The acer in the garden looks stunning even when it isn’t in the sun.

  1. I’m so pleased you’ve had a good day, and lots of cards and pressies. I do think the card you plant in the garden is a great idea and there should be a lot more like that. I’ll be interested to see what grows from the seeds embedded in it. Hopefully the butterfly bomb will also sprout well and encourage yet more wildlife into the garden. Over £30 winnings on scratch cards is also very good. Hope you treat yourself to a keepsake of some sort with it.
    I do like the look of your meal. Bet it was delicious. Not so sure about the green tea, but I’d give it a go. I’ve never had green tea with milk in it. It does look nice though.
    The cake is humongous! I bet a slice of that give one hell of a sugar rush 😄 Just what you need to keep you going. Don’t have any more before bed though as you’ll never sleep!
    I know you’d have to get a bit of gardening in today, even on your birthday. I’m sure you’ll be at it again tomorrow. Have a slice of cake for breakfast, that’ll keep you going 😊
    Enjoy the remnants of your birthday with a lazy evening.

    1. A lovely day and an affectionate cat keeping me company, she is so pleased to see me.
      The gardening wasn’t too bad, I will try and get some more done tomorrow as long as I don’t have a reaction to my booster jab in the morning.
