Birthday Wishes


Today is my birthday. My sister, Anna, gave me these jars as an early birthday present on Friday and I have been nibbling on them ever since. Rocky Roads in one jar, Apricot and Almond cookies in the other. Such a lovely present.


And this pretty jug from my sister Katy.



A subscription to Mollie Makes magazine from my best friend Abigail. A day out on a Learn to Crochet course from John (plus unlimited yarn spending money I hope!). But best of all, this from Bella.



And I wish that I could share my birthday cookies with you, my very few but very dear blog readers. If you were local, I would love to sit and have a coffee and chat with you, and talk about cooking and sewing and a million other things. Thank you so much for reading. 

Now, I'm off to ring the plumber as the boiler is on the blink again.

      I am SO excited about the crochet course, it's ridiculous. If I'm not brilliant at it straight away I will cry.

      Guillermina, thank you! I didn't make a cake but my friend brought round a delicious coffee and walnut cake earlier, so I've kept up my cake calorie intake for the day! Gillian x

    Many happy returns Gillian! Hope you've had a really lovely birthday. Your presents look delightful and the card from Bella to be treasured for years to come. I hope the plumber came and fixed the boiler - it's still cold to be without one that is working. Have a lovely (and hopefully warm!) evening. Elizabeth x

      Thank you Elizabeth. The plumber didn't come but I have steak and red wine and salted caramel macaroons to distract me for the evening ahead. Gillian x
