Dan's birthday - 4th April

What an amazing day I had, due in whole to my fabulous friends and family who made it so memorable.

Anna started the day off to a cracking start, providing champagne brunch for 9; croissants, pain au chocolat, granola, fresh berries, greek yoghurt and honey, different breads, OJ, coffee and of course, champagne! You can tell it made quite an impression! It was such a great way to start your birthday if it's a working day - I thoroughly recommend it (and Anna!).

The kids were absolutely gorgeous. As little Jack said, "Let's have the best super day!" And we did! The day flew past and we just had lots of fun. Lots of lovely pressies too!

Mum and Dad sent me a beautiful bouquet of flowers - my first ever interflora! So appreciated.

Ben phoned at 6pm (midnight in England) and wished me a (slightly slurred) Happy Birthday!

Tom hosted a drinks party at his that evening; it was so lovely to be able to arrive (harrassed, late and with lemon bars) and have nothing to sort and organise - thanks Tom! Picture lots of candles, tasty guacamole, fabulous posh veggie tart from Pip, vino frizzante and a contented Dan with all her new pals (sans Lauren who was over the pond in Scotland - boo!).

What a great day!
