52 Weeks of Happy...19/52

The happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything.

What a bumper week of happy times! I've just looked through all the photos I've taken over the last week and I've struggled to limit it to four. We're are enjoying a week of glorious sunshine, quality time with family and friends, and birthday celebrations. Joining in with the lovely Jen at little birdie, I give you this week's happies:

1. A spectacular roast dinner on Sunday. It was good to two reasons: the food and pub were perfect (we ate roast beef - I'm pretty sure it was beef, but if is was horse, it was very tasty horse) and the company was even better. 

2. A sunny and cold walk on the beach on Monday. The kids associate the beach with ice cream, regardless of the freezing temperatures.  Four children wrapped to within an inch of their life in hats, mittens and scarves ate bright blue bubblegum favour ice cream. The only nice thing I can say about the ice cream they chose is it was as blue as the sky.

3. Wednesday was my birthday (more on that later!) and my absolute best gift was these handmade cards from my small people. Yes, I am very sentimental.

4. Celebrating my niece, Eleanor's, third birthday. The 250 miles that separate Leeds from the South coast make it tricky for Bella and Angus to attend their cousins birthday celebrations and so it was extra special for us to join in today.

Thank you all SO MUCH for you warm and kind words about my blanket. You are all very lovely, you are. We return to Leeds tomorrow and I will make time to stop by your blogs and say hello, something I've not had a moment to do this week. Our half term break is coming to an end, but fear not, I will put together a bumper holiday blog special, just for you, with photos of EVERYTHING I've done, seen and eaten this week and truly bore the pants off you all. No really, you're welcome.
