50th Birthday Bash

Last weekend was my 50th Birthday surprise organised by my darling daughter Hannah. I was a bit worried we were going paintballing so you can imagine my relief when it transpired that it was actually a luxury spa weekend. We met in a pub in Mudeford in Dorset and Hannah's lovely friends (all of whom I've known since they were eleven years old) had decorated a table with balloons and glittery number 50s. My lovely friends (some of whom I've also known since we were eleven years old!) arrived and my dear old mum then, after lunch, we all checked in for a weekend of Pinot Grigio and pampering extraordinaire. It was such a wonderful treat and I felt utterly loved and cared for. The hot stone massage which lasted two hours, was the most soothing, healing and sweetest experiences imaginable. My daughter, her friends - Michelle, Kathie and Colette, my friends - Jan, Janice & Jayne and my Mum were great fun and I'm really pleased that we were all together to celebrate my half century! Thank you all, for making it special and, thank you darling daughter for making it possible.

  6. Happy Birthday!
    Speaking of over 50, I have to say I'm enjoying your blog but I'm having trouble with the small font in your posts even with my glasses on. Would you consider enlarging it?

    Thanks, Kim
