'Maybe you won't need another one...'

Specfically, another vase. My birthday today and I have been thoroughly spoiled with birthday wishes, books, lots of gorgeous flowers and other lovely things and a new vase that I have coveted since a trip to Leeds in March. A birthday banner outside my office meant that I was wished a happy birthday by all and sundry throughout the day. The Y11s English Literature paper was very fair and there was time for lots of conversations with young people today. Present opening, raising a glass and takeaway tea with the favourite people was a lovely end to a  good birthday.
