Another year around the sun and what a year it's been!

| Son Number Two - The Best Daddy to his little brood |
At the weekend, this here Gorgeous Girl had a birthday; social distancing was observed; hugs and kisses were thrown into the air; standing on the freezing cold doorstep singing Happy Birthday; she made the best of it because that's how she is; kind,caring,thoughtful,brilliant personality; I hope life will be kind to her (and her sister) when I'm no longer around to fend off any adversaries!
Then, the next day it was my turn; filled the day by flower-arranging with the huge amount of daffies and tulips so kindly and generously sent to me by my pal, Betty and which certainly helped to lift an otherwise gloomy day, weather-wise; arranged all my lovely cards from very kind people; answered lots of text and what's app messages and was amazed at the amount of FB wishes sent from all corners of the world; more flower-arranging with flowers sent by family; heavy-scented incense sticks sent in my birthday parcel from a sister, alongwith a trendy diary; chocolates from my neighbour wrapped in quirky 'Scottish' paper, made in China!
Peonies in January; such a treat.
Nearly a whole year since this friendly little fella' came into our lives and enchanted us all; let's hope we can all get together under the same roof on his special day.

Keep safe; keep well everyone.
So glad Gorgeous Girl saw her gran on her birthday! she looks so grown up (and very pretty). Littlest one is cute. Nice to see the blooms and cards.
ReplyDeleteThanks Betty. Remember when she was just tiny? Time flies indeed. x
DeleteHappy Birthday to you ansd your gorgeous girl, too! What a magnificent array of cards and fabulous flowers (including Betty's hand painted ones!) Give me incense over perfume any day, especially that lovely Indian brand.
ReplyDeleteI hope it's not too long till you can cuddle that cutie! xxx
Thanks Vix. Not sure about the strength of the joss sticks. I've had to shove them in a drawer in the meantime!x
DeleteHappy Birthday to you dear Anne ... what beautiful cards & flowers you received. That incense will be wonderful & if its too strong then tuck it away in your clothes drawers or your linen cupboard. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Julie. I just replied to Vix, saying I'd shoved them in a drawer because the smell is quite intense! Maybe the potency will diminish through time!x
DeleteBirthday Girl...27 again eh?..happy day Anne.....and what treats you had..shows how loved you are x
ReplyDeleteThanks Libs and great to 'see' you too! I sound like I was bragging but I wasn't really - not my style! x
DeleteOh I didn't think you were bragging! quite rightly you were sharing the joy xx

DeleteHappy Birthday!!!! I wish you could have had a better day filled with in person hugs and close family and friends. But as you say you have made it another year and oh what a year it has been. Happy Birthday also to that gorgeous girl of yours. Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mer. The day wasn't too bad, interspersed with good birthday wishes. Hope circumstances change soon so that everyone can have a 'proper' birthday this year.x
DeleteMany good wishes (belated) - your flowers are gorgeous, but all is topped by that gorgeous little boy!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sens, he is rather delectable, isn't he??!!Have you spotted that Libs is blogging again? x
DeleteYou are a January birthday girl too! So sorry I missed it but it looks like you are very popular! Are you a Capricorn? Your flowers are lovely and so is the young woman and your grand is so so cute!!! I too hope you can get together when he turns 1 year! It sounds like you had a good birthday but where was the food? LOL!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sam. I am an Aquarian. I had haggis, turnip and potatoes for my birthday treat because I share the same day as Scotland's National Bard, Robert Burns! x
DeleteHappy birthday to you and your beautiful granddaughter. The world sure had changed, and with hope, next years celebrations will be with many family and friends.
ReplyDeleteYou wait for ages for a comment from a 'Sam' and along come two in a row!lolThank you for passing by, Sam. Can't wait to catch up with all the delayed parties next year!x
