Birthday weekend...

No crafting this week has been accomplished, but its been my birthday weekend! And I hit the big 40!!

Friday morning started with a trip to a new local cafe, where we had breakfast.


I even got a candle in my croissant!


I had some beautiful pressies to unwrap!


I was given a wonderful stash of gifts!


And some amazing soft, cosy, comfy DM's


We had a lovely autumnal walk, kicking through the leaves in my new boots! 


For lunch, a simple but my favourite sandwhich, 'cheese + pickle'


Followed by a yummy chocolate muffin!


We got ready to go out in the evening


A local Italian restaurant that we hadn't tried before.


I chose a starter of Breaded Mozzarella, in a tomato sauce.


For my main course I had Ricotta + Spinach Raviolli, in Brie, cream and sun-dried tomato sauce.


And finished with an Italian chocolate mousse


It was an amazing meal, and I left totally over-full but happy!


On Saturday I got my hair dyed, ready for our joint party in the evening.


We had a great spread, and a disco at a local pub.


The drink flowed, and I boogied the night away.


Despite a poor turn out, we made the best of our night, and had fun!

Sunday was a much needed chill out day, before a week of work commences again!
