Thank you for your birthday greetings and fantastic cakes and videos. A lovely start to the day though the message that woke me this morning was from the NHS telling me I am now 70 so I can have a shingles vaccination.
UK family should have been joining us and I miss seeing them this week....and friends too. As the daughter of one of eighteen children there are plenty of cousins here as well as old friends from growing up and new friends Dave and I have made. I'm being treated to afternoon tea with friends now we can travel up to 5km.
A real surprise was the beautiful cake the daughter had asked our favourite pub to make and deliver....complete with candles but not seventy.....we only have one fire engine in the village.
I've received lovely gifts from the UK. Dave has been watching for delivery and keeping them hidden. I was aware of one though....the DPD delivery driver completely demolished my patio water feature as he reversed away.
Thank you all and have a happy day too...x
