            Thank you everyone so much for the lovely birthday wishes.
Thanks to those of you who sent cards & gifts.
So appreciated by me.
I had some moments of being sad this morning, missing my dad & Mr N & Jack.
Then moved on as you do.
Went to a very lovely hotel for a very lovely afternoon tea.
So I have had a good dayย
