Happy Birthday to my son Sam

Happy Birthday Sam

My little monkey is 12 today, so proud of you Sam. Although I can’t see you on your birthday today I have baked you a cake, its Raspberry and lemon, butter cream filling and sugar paste covering with I have made blue. Your name is on it although my writing on the cake is not very good the cake will be delicious. I will take it to work tomorrow for my colleagues to have a slice and wish you happy birthday.

This time 12 years ago I remember well, visiting that little baby birdie which fell out of a nest in neonatal ward, cause that’s what you looked like but now you are a big strapping 12 year old who loves reading like me and is good at football which is not like me but I did enjoy rugby which I think you would also be wonderful at Sam. Love you son, have an amazing birthday xxx

Autumn interior painting

Some painting is the name of the game today, giving the stairs a glossing over. Painted the my bedroom a nice Mulberry Burst, Sam’s room now has a warm lavender feature wall and still considering which colour the paint the spare bedroom, perhaps a nice warm apricot.

New spotlights to go up...

Doing the steps to the upstairs bedrooms black and white like the keys on a piano. A few new paintings on the walls to brighten the place up, new speakers downstairs and some more bookcases ….hoping to get done by this weekend….ah well, better get back at it.
