Birthday.



A lovely birthday, spent with old friends from France who now live in North Cornwall. They came down for the day and it was so good to catch up.

My sun room has been blessed by Sunflowers, roses and lavender.
Two more beautiful bouquets arrived from family members in Australia and England.
A bottle of pink champagne!
Cards and e-cards from all over the world have made me wonder how I should be so fortunate to have so many lovely friends.

It has been the happiest of birthdays.

Happy Birthday! I am so glad to read that you've had a lovely day. You really deserve to be treated, feted and made a fuss over!! You are one of the gentlest and most self-effacing people I know own. You spread good vibes around Blogdom, boosting people up and helping others who just need a kind word (or a little gardening advice). Happy Birthday Dear Friend! Enjoy those lovely bouquets!

It sounds a very good birthday you had.

Rosa 'Pierre de Ronsard' in our garden flowered so beautifully this May again.
