Last week was my 25th birthday, quite the mile stone. In my family birthdays are rather special, it’s all a big fuss made about you, to celebrate the day you were born.
Being away from home on birthdays is a bit shit really, but I had a pretty awesome day/ week.
A few days before my birthday I got three little packages from home, with a fair bit of Great British Pounds, so off I went to MAC and M&S to stock up on exciting new things!
On my actual birthday I woke up, and Ben had a present and card for me. The card is always my favourite part.. Ben has just a way with words that sometimes bring me to tears. He also got me a little leather bracelet which is absolutely gorgeous, he also brought me a handbag which arrived on Thursday.
In the afternoon, I received a rather special delivery of a big bunch of flowers and a personalised card from Nicole, and two really cool prints for our bedroom from Annie and Nathan! I really, really love my friends! Also got a delightful chocolate cake from my flat mate Jamee.
After work I met Ben at home and we got ready to go out for dinner, before we left we popped over to the park with a picnic blanket and bottle of Tattinger. It was so lovely to sit in the evening sunshine, winding down from a day of work.
Once we finished the bottle we headed off to re-live the Greek food we loved so much on our holiday, The Real Greek restaurant was tiny, and had such a cool atmosphere! It was a delicious dinner, with delicious wine and great company. After dinner we went for a drink and then wandered through Convent Garden for a spot of people watching.
On Friday night, I had an outdoor space booked at a cocktail bar called Apples and Pears. It was a great night, had my new dress, and my new fringe, and 2 for 1 cocktails. I got a few more presents, a delicious and beautiful looking cake and had such a good night with my friends.. you wouldn’t have known I wasn’t at home- I had brought a bit of home with me!
It was a pretty good night, a pretty huge boozy one, so I spent the whole weekend recovering, now it’s all over but the excitement hasn’t stopped as I am off to Alkmaar (just out of Amsterdam) this weekend to spend the weekend with a best friend of mine! I can’t wait to see Annalise, and spend time with Harry!
25 is shaping up to be a good age, it will be a pretty exciting year!
