Yesterday I turned 40!! Woot!
Well 40 is a big one..there was a need to celebrate it and enjoy the day. Unfortunately my husband is currently working the night shift so had to sleep the day and was then gone the evening so we weren’t able to share a bottle of champagne. That will have to wait until next week when we might have a dinner party…possibly with a 70′s theme, coz I kinda love retro 
Anyway what my DH did give me was a fabulous gift of a brand new Canon digital SLR camera! Talk about stoked and I can’t wait to show you all the fabulous pics I have been taking and just wait till I get my macro lens. I am very keen to get some fantastic shots around the garden of the flowers, leaves, seed pods, etc. I have taken quite a few shots already and will post some up soon. He also gave me this too cute for words birthday card which I just adore and will put in a frame for on my dressing table.
I was very spoilt on my special day and I do feel very lucky and thankful Among my gifts was a beautiful red Le crueset casserole dish and a Pandora bracelet with three charms from my parents! I also received a stunning red glass lamp in the shape of a Lotus flower from my sister and brother in law. I will have to take a pic of this one to show you, it is absolutely amazing! I also received little leaf earrings from my children (so cute) and a very funky Crumpler camera bag from my bro in law! My brother and his partner gave me a brand new fishing rod and a very nice Daiwa reel so cant wait to go fishing, he he
We had a luscious family dinner last night of home baked lasagna made lovingly by my mother AND these very cool and delectable canapes, devoured with champagne.
To top the whole dinner off we had a very, very yummy and oh so rich chocolate tiramisu birthday cake.
What a way to celebrate 40 years!
