So this is 32

I reached this grand old age today. I used to be a huge birthday person and loved every minute of it, but I must admit having Monkey's birthday so close to mine has made me barely think of mine this year - too caught up with all her excitement and party planning!

But even so I have had a lovely day and been made to feel very special. The HTC organised a flex day so we could spend it together as a family, and we went for a lovely drive in the hills to Hahndorf and then to the chocolate factory - yum!


The weather was pretty drizzly but we managed and the Monkey was a complete angel which was lovely - I adore that gorgeous little girl more than anything.

I also was given some lovely presents, the HTC knows me so well! A bead for my bracelet from the Monkey, a gorgeous cookie recipe book (this is slightly less selfless than it seems, guess which his favourite baked good are??) and a beautiful big mixing bowl which I love.


I haven't caught up with anyone else yet, but we are having family and my best friend over for morning tea on Sunday (Yay, more baking, can't wait to try out my new stuff!) and then have afternoon tea with the work girls next week.


But in the meantime, here is a few pics from today.


In front of the yummy cheese shop.


Smiley Monkey!

Me and the girl.

Nothing cuter than a man pushing a pram!

Cookies book - yum!

Gorgeous bowl, can't wait to try it.
