forget the queen...

Yesterday we celebrated Samuel's birthday.
After a lovely sleep in he woke to a pile of pressies to open in front of the fire & shared a delicious breakfast of steaming porridge. We chilled out in the winter sun chatting with a friend & playing with the dogs, we napped on the couch after lunch, walked up the hill for a gorgeous sunset, ate seafood stew for dinner, chocolate fudge cake & sweet sherry for dessert, listened to birthday vinyl & watched a birthday dvd.

I really enjoyed putting together his birthday card. I made a little story of things that make him happy.

Each page had a number on it that linked it to a present with the same number, which made it a lovely drawn out affair of him savouring each gift.

Some old vinyl & a big book of american muscle cars,

'prime mover' dvd (a romantic trucker movie) & a bottle of red & a bottle of spanish sherry,

a pair of vintage cowboy boots & a magazine subscription,

& a second hand triton workbench.
Yes my husband is very spoilt, I don't deny. Birthdays are the only time we give each other presents & he really is the best husband I could ever ask for.
So sorry queenie, yesterday wasn't all about you.

Don't forget to enter the super fabulous giveaway! I'll be giving some sneak peaks tomorrow.
