My birthday....

Nothing like some birthday drizzle in the bleak midwinter! 

We gathered at mum's in the afternoon, and had carrot cake and presents- I let Lucy open them, and we sang and she blew out my candles. It reminded me of when we were kids, sitting around the table in exactly the same place, only missing the grandparents. 

I did spend the first bit of my birthday in the Mini garage, as my car had almost run out of oil and I am clueless! 

My sister is holding up her fingers in the photo, as my dad went on his annual Christmas shindig with his mates, and actually fell off the train as he arrived home last night, cutting his hands! Shelle was counting how many drinks he'd had as he relayed what he'd drunk! Rather him than me....
