My Birthday!

Hi there everyone. 

Well that was the second busy birthday weekend!

It was mine on Friday followed by Amelia’s, my granddaughter who was 12 and yesterday it was my sons!

Friday was lovely. I really felt very spoilt with lots of family and friends stopping by in the daytime and all the kids joining me for a couple of drinks and a takeout in the evening. I got some beautiful cards with lovely words written in them. I so appreciate having cards with nice comments in them, something I love more and more as I get older. David is taking me to The Lucky Cat in London which is one of Gordon Ramsey’s chain. I watched the documentary about him getting it ready and was eager to go see it for myself - what a great gift? The kids gave me a super co-ord, the same as the one I shared last week, but this is beige. 

Amelia was 12 on Saturday and it doesn’t seem two minutes ago that we were running down their road after she was born early at home! She growing into a beautiful young lady and for her present I’m taking her to Bluewater for a shopping trip followed by dinner in her favourite restaurant. Girls trips are the best aren’t they. 👏

Yesterday was my eldest son Jake’s birthday. He was taking his daughter to a gym competition in the afternoon so we went for breakfast with him, his family and my other son. The girls couldn’t make it but we still had a super time. I managed to embarrass him with a celebration cake made by Sophie which the waitress presented to him complete with candle and a chorus of  “happy birthday” 🎊 Do you ever embarrass your children?

So this is what 62 looks like!

Another busy week for me! I’ve got a funeral today which I know is going to be sad even though it’s not someone who was particularly close to me but a wonderful lady nonetheless. I’ve got to do a clean in the morning for the Airbnb and also I’ve got an Instagram post to get finished which I need to concentrate on. Do you have to be in the right frame of mine to get things done?

So this is 62! I have to say at times I feel my age especially when I look in the mirror! I pay particular attention to my beauty and skincare routine and am quite adamant I want to age naturally but I do wonder what I could look like if I went down the aesthetics route! I’m such a coward though so for now I’ll embrace the natural look. Do send me any ideas you have that may help. ❤️

Thanks for joining me, have a wonderful week. Have you got anything special planned ?

Catch up on Friday. 

Bye. X
