Happy Birthday

Remember remember the 5th of November! yes it's my birthday and for a treat we all went out for Sunday lunch at Bella Vita. All being me, Andrew, Isla, Mum, Dad Marje & David. The food was good and the wined flowed.

Isla had her own highchair and sat patiently whilst we all tucked in. This isn't her first visit to a restaurant so is already getting a taste for the high life!



No one would tell the waiter it was my birthday (where's Bek when you need her!) so there was no singing or a desert with a sparkler in it!


I don't think Isla had any of the wine but as you can see she had a little nap on Grandad Oldfield. She had been really good all day and it was lovely to share my birthday with my beautiful daughter for the first time.

Daddy enjoyed himself too, I think he was still pleased with himself for coming up with a great present for me, an Nano Ipod, pity he downloaded 121 AC/DC tracks onto it, they had to be removed!

All in all a very enjoyable day, despite this being the first year since I can remember that I haven't been to a bonfire or had any fireworks, perhaps I'm a bit old for that now?!

Welcome Home

Well the day had finally arrived when it was time to pick Mum up from the airport, it seems ages since we last saw her. We waited paitiently for her to come through but she wasn't one of the first, I think it took her all her time to lift her case!! Isla and I were keeping watch waiting for her smiley face to come round the corner.


Andrew spotted her first but I pushed him out of the way for our big reunion! Of course I didn't get a look in as Isla was whisked out of my arms! It was great to see her after so long and I thought she looked really well with her lightened hair and healthy glow.


Even though it had been a long flight it was all smiles as Nan and grand-daughter were together again, even Nellie got in on the act, there's no keeping that bear down after she heard about the antics of her cousin down under. So all together at last at least it was a nice sunny day if not a bit cold. Just enough time for Mum to re-charge her batteries before the big event on the 5th.
We'll keep you posted.

Till next time!

Mwah!
