Last night was the start of my birthday festivities, we drank nearly a bottle of gin, all of the rhubarb syrup, the juice of 20 lemons, 5 bottles of prosecco and a magnum of Cremant de Jura, there were other things but I lost count somewhere about midnight!

I really enjoyed myself and I’m so glad I know such amazing people, nurses, social workers, missionaries, engineers and other inspiring types and they do inspire me.

This afternoon, my house is full of cards, flowers, foods and other lovely things, including the iPad mini that I’m writing this post on!

My friends are amazing!
