Birthday Bliss

If anyone has ever been too spoiled on their birthday, I think I would qualify this year.
My friends went above and beyond in helping make it a memorable one!


 March 22nd - London day trip with friends
So thankful for the friends who helped me organize this day as well as had the insight to know what I would enjoy seeing and making it all happen.

 

We rode boris bikes in Hyde Park. While we were riding we got caught in a hail storm!
I found it increasingly hilarious as we were being beaten with the hail! Great memories!


March 24th- My Birthday


A lovely friend picked me up and took me out for the morning. We had delicious smoothies and browsed a few stores.
In the evening I had the honour of being joined by a group of friends for dinner at a pub. It was such a blessing to be surrounded by so many amazing people who I now have the privilege of calling friends.


April 26th- Surprise Road Trip for my birthday 

The Jane Austen House Museum

Two of my lovely friends picked me up. Destination unknown. I was truly enjoying every minute of the drive through the lovely countryside. And when we arrived to our destination, I think the smile and excitement came rushing up in a matter of a second. Joyful was how I was for the rest of the day. So beautiful, so quaint, the perfect way to spend a day with friends. Thank you girls!

Conditions

Conditions. Favorable or unfavorable. These factors become the difference between confidence and the feeling of being out of control. Well acquainted with its quirks and the way it drives, my car and I have driven many miles. Sunshine, warm days and open roads. Driving is both liberating and enjoyable and not merely just a means to an end. Snow, ice, wind and darkness. Driving is stressful, at moments terrifying. And the car that once felt very familiar now feels unfamiliar. Weightlessness upon a surface that was once clear, its boundaries no longer visible. Once familiar, now obscured.  Sunlight that once gave foresight, is replaced by headlights that give fragments of visibility as you move forward in the descending darkness. You know your destination. But the journey towards home is difficult, uncertain, long and slow. You cannot guarantee that you will arrive without incident. You only know, that you have to take deep controlled breath, after d...

Tea & Life

Tea. A delicious warm drink. Also known in England as a Cuppa.... How I enjoy drinking tea. Truth be told, the frequency of which I partake in this rather common and daily habit for some, is quite diminished as of late. I asked myself why this was, as I was soaking up the moonlit sky, on my rather brisk walk this evening. Tea.  Warm, comforting and even more delicious accompanied by scones, clotted cream & jam.... just saying. Of an evening with my Aunt, watching various British period programs,we have been known to consume at least 3 very, very, large pots of tea. My ability to drink tea is rather astonishing. Yet the kettle seldom used and the tea gone more untouched as of late. Why?                                                                               ...

Changing Leaves

"I keep turning over new leaves, and spoiling them, as I used to spoil my copybooks; and I make so many beginnings there never will be an end."   ~Jo March,  Louisa May Alcott, Little Women. A few years ago, I upgraded to a new-to-me, used iPhone.  The camera was better, the storage slightly larger for my obsessive hobby of taking photos of things that caught my eye during walks.  (Let me be honest, it happened far too often, but then again, it's who I am!) My friend's husband jokingly asked if it came with a photo album of leaves, or something along those lines. To his credit, it was a witty and hilarious joke that reflected a reality and truth, that all who were present knew very well... Sheena sure loved to post photos of leaves. I can't help it, my breath catches and I want to document the moment, the transition and to share it with others.  The difference between today and tomorrow is everything in this season.  So, I don't want to miss this moment, th...
