Happy Birthday to me.

Well 37 again! Maybe not! Hubby took me out for a lovely breakfast, it was last time we went but this time - not so good. We have found that a few times people setting themselves up in cafe or farmshops, receive funding from different agencies, do the bare minimum to get the money and then the standard drops. It is such a shame when that happens, some people go on the basis that people may go to eat once and if all fails they won't go again but money will have been spent and next year new holiday makers will try a coffee shop and if no good won't go again and so the pattern continues. Folk make enough money to live and don't see the point of making improvements. Maybe a year older has made me more synical! So today I can do what I like it's my day I received 3 wooden mushrooms to put near the pond really lovely, piccie once in situe.
Walking the donkeys this afternoon and later cooking Duck, my favorite, although not one of our own ducks - sounds bizarre couldn't eat one of mine.
Cake will be profiteroles, my favorite dessert. Funny really when it's some other member of the family birthday I cook their favorite meal and they choose a cake the only difference is I have to shop and cook for my birthday, well at least it's edible! Of course plenty of wine tonight.
And a very special day 20 year old has A level results and she is going to uni, really pleased for her, but boy will I miss her she hasn't been away from home before, redid her A levels when we moved to Cornwall so I have been lucky to have her around for a little longer than usual.
Nearly got the photo thing sorted so good day all round. Thank you Vera for having me!

Yet another girls night out!

Just like a bus, you don't see any for ages and then they all turn up at once. A bit like a girls night out, none for two years and now I am out again tonight. Getting a lift there and back, daughter finishes work in pub and will collect mother on her way past. Wonderful, just about to shower and get ready i'm supplying the cornish yarg and the stinking bishop! That and plenty of wine, The rain has continued and the euopean visitors left early to travel to The Eden Project and onwards, towards Lands End, hope they can see with all this mist and don't fall off at the end....

We helped them fix their bike rack and towed them off the camping area, they were grateful and supplied us with a German bottle of Red wine, we will keep and drink at a later date. Been watching one of the broody rhode island red hen, she nudges eggs under her chin and manages to get 3 or more in same roosting nest, that surprises me as they are at least 2 foot off the ground I am going to hide and see how she does it. Does my life get more exciting than this.
