For those of you who may not be aware of it, my birthday falls on the same day of the year on which Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II got her job. For anyone who thinks being Queen is fun, just remember that Her Maj won't be allowed to spend the day in her pyjamas, eating chocolates, and watching telly. Sixty years of devotion to duty and putting up with everybody telling you how to do your job because they know better deserves large-scale congratulation.
The choice of the most perfect birthday present also deserves congratulation. Neat, you're a genius! I've wanted an apron for ages and I couldn't have chosen a more delightful one myself. Thanks!
The observant among you may spot some white stuff through the kitchen window. That's because yesterday afternoon, this happened...
....and it didn't take long before we were all covered in snow!
Some brave dogs have already been out in it this morning.
Brr!

Happy Birthday! The apron is fab - I have a particularly nice purple one that we got from our wedding gift list that I'm yet to use - it's got pockets in the front and everything!
Very jealous on the snow front, we were promised snow, but it completely missed everywhere below winchester so I had nothing to play in yesterday :(
As soon as I saw it I thought of you . Most appropriate I thought for Olympic year too. Happy B/day, Your Maj ;-)
Thank you, faithful readers!
Carrie, you probably can't see the tag still on the apron, but it's from John Lewis. Anita knows I adore Johnny Lewlew's!!!
I love John Lewis, but eeek, some of their stuff is mega expensive! I have to just window shop when I go there.
So you fully understand why I left the John Lewis cardboard tag on the apron!!!
Happy belated birthday, my dear! Did you by any chance receive something from me this week?
P.S.: You look smashing in that apron!
Merci, Julie!
We haven't received any post at all yet this week - the postperson can't get up the hill through the snow!!
I'll be keeping an eye on the boite a lettres as soon as the white stuff thaws!
