This, being…
one insomniac coughing fit so energetic I blew out an eardrum (brills)
two naps, three boxes of chocolate, four new books (better)
one cafe breakfast and a bottle of the best French lemonade we ever had
one birthday cake made from piled-up scones-and-cream-and-jam
and one boy in tractor wellies, one boy popping the buttons off my coat, and one boy holding my hand under the table.
I’ve never had a birthday where I felt worse and enjoyed myself more. Seriously, these boys. They make my twenty-eight.
(I would also really like to be in bed at this point, but I’ve got another fifteen minutes till my next bout of cold medicine. So, like, a million photos? Yep, good idea.)
I was just thinking – 28 years ago this morning I thought you were the most wonderful thing thing I ever saw – and that I had no idea then just how wonderful you would turn out 28 years later 🙂 xxxx
Thanks dad!
Happy Birthday, what a lovely dad you have 🙂 loving the scone cake 🙂
Thank you! It was yum.
Are you having a boy?! I think I missed that announcement!
Also, that last picture of you is wonderful. 🙂
Yes, we are! I get a bit tired of big Facebook announcements, so we didn’t really do one. We’ve just been telling people when they ask – though that system sort of falls down when you know so many people overseas!
And thanks! Are you feeling better? Hope so. Xx
Happy Belated Birthday Rachel! Looks like it was a wonderful day. Glad you have such great boys to take care of you!
It was, thank you! Hope you’re all well.
Where was that milkshake from? Looks incredible!
Bill’s Cafe in Reading – we went there for breakfast. It’s the one between St Mary’s Church and the back entrance of John Lewis, if you know it? Amaaazing.
what a lovely day! love your wells as well as timothy and the statue in the garden — ha ha!
Ha, we couldn’t resist a photo – such a casual pose 🙂
