Yesterday was my birthday. I had a lovely few days celebrating turning 27, with a games night on Sunday evening complete with chocolate cake and some awesome Cath Kidston gardening gloves from Dora and Andy and a shopping day with Emma and Amelia on Monday, who bought me this beautiful cardigan and treated me to lunch.

Yesterday we had a yummy breakfast with Matt (B’s brother) and his girlfriend Clare, who left for a 4 month trip around the world last night, followed by some lovely lazy time. Just me and B in our new little house. That was until the peace was disturbed by some teeny boys, who designed the rather spectacular artwork now residing on our fridge. There was lots of cake and my gorgeous family were as generous as ever, giving me enough money to buy a tumble dryer, new laundry basket for the bathroom and maybe even the darn cool plates B and I spotted in an antiques shop on the way home from work last week.


Speaking of the boy, he got me something I’ve been longing for for a while now. A Canon 50mm lens. It should arrive tomorrow and I can’t wait to spend the weekend playing around with it. So, a rather lovely day really. And now I’m off to eat some leftovers. The best part of any party.
