I have had a really lovely day off work.

I’ve had so many lovely birthday messages, cards, and amazing gifts, honestly I’m so very grateful. I’ve been so very lucky.

We also had sunshine…. ☀️ how amazing that Craig even managed that!

I woke at 6.10 with the alarm that I wish I had switched off. 😆

Check my wrapping paper from Craig! Khaleesi is on it too 🫶🏼

We went out for brunch via the bank & solicitors in Irvine.

It was so frosty this morning, that’s thick white frost on the board.

We went to Gro Coffee for brunch…. Check all these cakes and we didn’t have a single one!

I had a breakfast taco. It was so good but very spicy! I was so full afterwards.

We had a lovely drive up the coast through Stevenson, Saltcoats, Ardrossan and West Kilbride to get to the sea.

There’s snow on the top of the mountains on the Isle of Arran.

It’s actual quite warm in the sun.

We headed up to Portencross next.

We sat right here…… for ages feeling the heat of the sun.

It’s so lovely. We sat here for ages… it’s the longest Craig has sat and doing nothing in a long time.

I love this photo…. It’s called “deep in thought!”

It was a lovely wee morning.

When we got home we took the dogs straight out.

I’m not really sure where the afternoon has gone. I’ve had the loveliest day.

For those of you who know Craig’s gift giving…. He excelled himself again. I am very lucky.

My main present was a solo trip to Nerja near Malaga, on 11th December. I knew about it as he’s been paying it up for months!

After I’d opened everything he presented me with a weekend for us both in Prague at the end of January!!!!!!! He’s been paying that up too 😆 then during brunch he “found” tickets for Face the West, an amazing ceilidh band, in 2 weeks time! I don’t think we’ve seen them live since 2014!

So .a great birthday. Humbling and I’m so very grateful.

Thank you .

Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
