birthday videotape

waking up to balloons and birthday banners from my room to the hall to the bathroom and a breakfast of omelets (current fav), strawberries, chocolate muffins and orange juice, all brought about by andrea.  

in a special breakfast nook.

there couldn't have been a more lovely way to start the day.

birthday suit

and then a trip to portobello 

where i met bella.

followed by tea at the orangery...

  

 

and feeding the swans at kensington gardens.

peonies from amber

dinner at nandos (mango lime chicken and grilled corn on the cob?  yes please.)

and an evening stroll through hyde park

followed by pizookie

today has been the most perfect day i've ever seen.
