21st Birthday celebrations

My older daughter was due on Christmas Day 21 years ago. I had other ideas to get this baby out before Christmas and thus she was born on the 22nd. So we had a wonderful pre Christmas weekend with many family celebrating OD's 21st Birthday. We had Turkey Dinner in  the evening and were completely stuffed, left overs for Sunday Lunch and a rather dour carol service later that evening, it may not have helped being stuck behind the pillar, but no one in the body of the church seemed to be singing - the choice of carols may have been a lot to do with it.

 Whilst we were recovering from eating too much I cleverly gave OD  all the ingredients to make a wonderful profiterole Christmas cake  and here it is  with candles - it was truly scrumptious.

Having a cold day here  today -3oc  the tie dye is frozen on the washing line. It needs to be dry by Wednesday night when we will untie it and see what delights will emerge.

London Oct 2012

During the half term I visited London with 5 Girlguiding UK senior section girls from  Cumbria south. we had a fab time visiting the sights eating good food. We visited a wonderful Vietnamese restaurant called Pho. we are hoping to go again in January and will definitely be visiting this restaurant.
