Another year older


I'm the world's biggest kid about birthdays.  I still love them!


When I was a child it was the presents which brought the greatest pleasure but these days it's the good wishes of old friends.  I think I get more cards each year.  I love the feeling of good will!
I have two very good friends, both single women, and we all go out for each other's birthday.  Nothing elaborate, just lunch at a local pub but good food and good company makes a perfect combination.

And to crown it all, flowers.  My friends all know that I love flowers and these days it's good to receive things which won't clutter my house for ever.  So here are some of my flowers.  

Only three hundred and sixty days to my next birthday!

  1. Happy Birthday - yours must be the day before mine! I've had a very quiet day forgotten by all but Mother and Little Brother. Lovely that yours was a happy day and the flowers are beautiful.

  5. Belated Happy Birthday wishes, Mary. Very pretty flowers - I love having fresh flowers in my home, even if it's just a couple of blooms from the garden in a tiny jug. (Presently represented by a bunch of Pinks, including whites and reds!!!)

  7. you and my daughter think alike on the gift issue -- my daughter prefers consumable gifts, either food or fragrance or flowers == something to enjoy and then use it up.I have come to agree with her.
