  • Today is my birthday, I am blessed with lovely cards and presents. I have a squirrel themed birthday card which I love.

    Later I will be going to parents for breakfast , lay a wreath on my brothers grave . Those who know of me in RL will know how much this means to me this year.

    Then hopefully will see the grandchildren and my DS and DD.

    For my family this year has been truly awful in some ways , but today I count my blessings , a birthday near Christmas is magical.

    Have a good day everyone.

  • Happy birthday. Have a wonderful day.

    I hope the wreath laying goes ok too. x

  • Have had a lovely day surrounded by family. Been treated to some lovely gifts.

    My DD has booked last minute to go away for Xmas , I will miss my GKs but they will be seeing their other grandparents so that's good.

    Wish it would stop raining .
