The Month of November

A week ago, it was my Aunty's 90th Birthday!

To celebrate,

her immediate family took her to London,

to the London Eye,

providing fantastic views overlooking the capital.

Needless to say,

she was thoroughly spoilt with champagne,

numerous presents & cards,

besides masses of flowers.

Just a few featured in this post.

It was lovely to think

 she was able to enjoy her very special day.

And, today, is my Mother's 88th birthday.

She is such a special lady,

very kind natured & very unselfish.

During the next few weeks,

she has a succession of appointments at the hospital.

ultimately concluding with an operation at the end of the month.

Although she will be going out on her birthday,

weather permitting,

 she will be going on the steam railway at the weekend,

with a journey to Minehead.

This is the last weekend the railway will be operating

 for the season before

Christmas specials in December.

I know this is something

 Mother  is looking forward to,

as it's a journey she was very use

 to as a young girl/woman.

Further Birthday celebrations at the weekend!

It will be my Daughter's 24th Birthday!

 Birthday Wishes to them All!

Interflora Calling

My Birthday weekend!

A surprise bouquet of flowers delivered

Some lovely Birthday cards from special family & friends

An afternoon spent watching the film,

 'The King's Speech' with my daughter

Heck! Another year older,

but an enjoyable Birthday! X

Delicate

Although only taking photos of just one flower, various shades emerge.

All  images make the flower look so delicate,

 maybe appropriate as we're nearly in between seasons,

 waiting for the  next season & yet although we see glimmers,

 it's not quite with us yet.

A very delicate state.

But we wait in anticipation. . . .

Another Year

Another year, my birthday last Saturday.

Enjoying a long weekend, not back to work until Tuesday.

Received flowers from an Aunt on Friday,

beautiful Springtime colours,

 a mixture of carnations & freesias.

On my actual birthday,

 I travelled to London with my daughter & her boyfriend,

 to meet up with my sister in law in Covent Garden.

We enjoyed a lovely lazy meal in an Italian restaurant,

followed by retail therapy walking to Leicester Square, Regent Street, Oxford Street & Piccadily.

A long tiring day but so much pleasure & enjoyment.

Although very wet weather to begin with, the day, thankfully, stayed dry.

Old Photo's & A Special Day

Today, we are celebrating my Mother's birthday, she'll be 86.

A very special lady, especially as she has been a Mother to five children.

The photo above was when my Mother was approximately 19 years old.

My Mother's childhood,

on the swing being pushed by her sister.

My  parents were married for 64 years
until my father died a few years ago.

The photo below is of my

 Grandfather & Grandmother.

I don't remember too much about

 my Grandfather as

 I was  much too young when he died.

But I do have fond memories of my Grandmother. . . .

My Mother now has ten Grandchildren
and
one Great Grandaughter!
Really hope she has a lovely Birthday!
***That's certainly a wish from all the Family ***
