Happy Birthday, Anniversary, & Valentine's Day to Me.....

********************

********************

Yes, you’ve read it correctly....It’s not only Valentine’s Day but 54 years ago (how long, never!!!) I came into the world. Not content with that, Andy and I decided to get married thirteen years ago today. Now I’m trying to decide which is worst, reaching the age of 54 or being married for 13 years and still smiling.....hehe...Seriously we have had a lovely time with the day ending with a great meal at our favourite place in Hayle. There is always a warm friendly greeting when we go to the Balti King, it’s like visiting friends.....

Also to celebrate this day I relented and had my photograph taken!! I have never been photogenic and today was no exception. You will see that the photo in my profile definitely needs updating, that was taken in 2005 before the years and gravity caught up with me....hehe... Also I’ve put loads of weight on over the last year or so, hence my going back to Slimming World.....

The Happy Couple...


********************

Oh No! Another one of the Happy Couple...

Chocolates and a Rose

What more could a girl ask for....

********************

As you can see, only just as the photo is a bit blurry, I was given a rose at the Balti plus extra chocs (I’d already eaten two...hehe..)...But the rose wasn’t the only flowers I received. Charlotte’s mum also gave me flowers and added a personal touch with greenery from her garden, yellow tissue and tied with a blue ribbon.......

And the surprises didn’t end there. As I walked into my lounge (well storeroom/building yard) on returning home I noticed cards and pressies from my son. He must have called in on his way home from work. I was really touched and sorry I missed him. I haven’t opened them yet.....

This was taken on our honeymoon in Egypt on a boat. It was an ‘Egyptian Night’ and we dressed for the part...hehe...The first week we did a Nile cruise and for the second week we stayed in Hurgurda near the Red Sea. This was an amazing two weeks....Oh did I warn you there are lots of photos in this posting...oh dear....

Well not to be out done and in fairness to Andy, I am going to embarrass myself now...hehe...
