A little late April thread on feeling blessed, loved & grateful. Today, I turned 50*. We’d (almost) planned a vintage dress-up, village hall knees-up, which we will have, you know, when this is all over. *I KNOW)! But ... 1/7
April birthdays mean my own special fly (St Mark’s Fly) cuckoos & bluebell woods, willow warblers & the blowsiest, blossomiest blossoms I think I’ve ever seen. We went for a walk.... 2/7
and had an extended family & best friend video-link Bingo & everyone told me how much they loved me (& I them) & how late I always was for everything (including the Bingo. Which was in my house). 3/7
There were messages, inventive doorstep gifts, flowers & a secret village whip round for decorations... & there was original artwork from daughters ... 4/7
Also, original art work in the post from nephews; look at the puffin’s feets & the otter’s face! 5/7
And there was this ... toot toot! 6/7
And last, a dress-up meal & a candlelit game of riotous family Cluedo. This may have been a strange, Lockdown ‘big’ birthday, but it was the best, most memorable birthday, ever. 7/7
