Had my birthday a few weeks back.  Our friends that live in Paris were staying over for a few days, sadly to attend a relative's funeral.  But I baked a couple of cakes (a coffee & walnut and a lemon drizzle) so invited family & friends round for a cuppa & a slice.  Bought a few new items of clothing with my birthday money...  a couple of jumpers...

...a new dressing gown, lovely & fleecy, 'specially for the winter!
