Happy Birthday Ginger One

Happy Birthday to my one and only.  I will endeavour to give you a lovely day, I'm trying not to overindulge you but this milestone deserves to be acknowledged.  After all you only turn 40 once.  Thank you for letting me share your life with you.  I love the life we have created and I am so grateful that I get to spend my days with you.  You are a wonderful man; you are kind, funny and passionate and deserve to be spoiled rotten.  I love you more than words can say.  

Strolling round the neighbourhood

After a few weeks of being under the weather I needed to get out and wanted to find a new walking place.  We’d walked around the local reservoir in the spring but I was intrigued by all of the walkers heading up into the hills.  We had checked out the forest, it seemed to be a memorial forest of some kind and I wasn’t sure I wanted to picnic there.  This time however we went for a walk and it was glorious.  Dressed in my brand new extra, extra, extra long scarf with a flask of tea we went exploring.  The trees and bushes were all on the turn and the shades of red, yellow, orange and brown made for some delightful photos.  I was proud of the photos I took so I shared them online in a Burnley residents group and they garnered a lot of positivity, particularly from Burnlians living abroad.
