Happy birthday @foxgloves! I recently turned 60; as I reminded myself it is only 50 plus VAT. A healthy life full of conscious choices means that you'll feel, act and look eternally at your best. I wouldn't want to relive the years from 18 to 30 for any money. Love Humdinger xx

Happy birthday, lovely to be on holiday for the big one! I celebrated mine (a good few years ago now!) by walking a very hilly 100 mile stretch of a coast path. At least it's flatter where you are, if you decide to do it too!

Wi-fi very intermittent but who cares because cottage lovely & my birthday bag included walnut whips. Proper ones with a walnut, not those brexitty nut-less jobbers.
