I turned 55 last week and what a week I’ve had! 🥳
The sun was shining on Monday, so I took my annual walk through Chaddesley woods to see the bluebells, which were glorious. 🪵
On my actual birthday, after 35 years, I decided to get back in the saddle. Huge thanks to Gemma and Anne at Stourport Riding Centre and Dizzy the horse, of course, for a wonderful morning. 🐴 This was followed by a delicious lunch at Arrow Mill with my lovely Martin and a trip to Ellenden Farm Shop for cake to enjoy with Sally. 🍰
Thursday evening my dear friend, Maria, had me round for one of her famous paella dinners and it was delicious, as always! 🥘
After work on Friday, I was whisked away for a fabulous dinner, bed and breakfast stay at Broom Hall Inn. This was just the start of a magical weekend all planned by my lovely Martin. ❤️
Saturday morning was spent wondering around Stratford upon Avon before watching the brilliant The Devil Wears Prada 2 at the Everyman Cinema. 🍿 Then it was on to Chapter 23 in Alcester for coffee and cake before a brilliantly, creative hour at The Mad Splatter .
Sunday, we headed back to Stratford for the most amazing lunch at The Woodsman. 🍽️
I am so very fortunate to have such a thoughtful, kind partner and lovely friends and family. Hugely grateful for the cards, gifts and messages. Thank you 🙏🏻 So blessed ☺️
