Today is my birthday. Â Yet another trip around the sun. Â Although no sunshine to be seen today. Â We have had some really cold weather here the last couple of days, with it snowing just up the road yesterday. Â Today was foggy and drizzling. Â Although I must admit living in the hills adds a mystical and most magical element to this wintery weather.
My mum came to spend time with us for my birthday and and gave me a leave pass this afternoon (I have been home all week with Scarlett being unwell). Â I went to my favourite cafe in Sassafras called Ripe and enjoyed a quiet lunch and read my kindle book. Â Bliss! Â I then wandered to the local wool/yarn shop and proceeded to buy some lovely alpaca wool (pictures to come). Â I think it will become a scarf and hat, as I feel we are in for some more arctic weather before winter is out.
Mum and Scarlett baked me a chocolate cake and the girls decorated it for me. Â The concentration that went into that cake was amazing.
Happy birthday was sung and the kids helped blow the candles out. Â I was sure Jairah would pass out from his candle blowing efforts.
I have received some lovely gifts from lovely friends and family. Â I ordered myself some beautiful fabric, but that will have to be another post!
This journal has the most beautiful pages both outside and inside
A gift from a dear friend
I am now parked in front of the open fire with Cardamon snuggled up next to me. Â Ah, life is good. Â Jacinta x
