Hello friends and visitors! Yes, it was my birthday on Wednesday and I am feeling a mixture of emotions. Shock at the age I now am (surely, I am still in my fifties?) and pleasure at being with all of my chaps this year. Younger Son came over for a swift visit and it feels as if the sun came out on a gloomy day!
It was a quiet and peaceful day with lots of hugs and conversation. I spent the day in bed as I am still very unwell with this relapse from my usual state. All three of my men visited me at intervals and we chatted and laughed about all kinds of things.
If you are a regular visitor to the blog, you may have already seen some of my birthday gifts. Here they are…
In addition, my sister gave me a lovely bracelet from Canada. I have been wearing the purple sweater for the last couple of days. It’s so warm and cosy and I have several scarves that look lovely with it. This one that I recently purchased from One Hundred Stars (Kew Protea Scarf) works well…
I must wear the gorgeous cashmere jumper during the next few days and take some photos. I am not sure whether it would work with a scarf, probably not. A necklace might be OK though. What do you think?
Right, I must stop writing this now. Younger Son is leaving soon and I have to hold on to my emotions as best I can.
Happy Weekend to you all!
Love and best wishes,
Anne

Happy belated birthday, Anne! Your family come through with some lovely gifts for you. Your new Au Royaume d’ Helios is gorgeous! I wonder if it just might work with your new cashmere sweater? Maybe? Your Tulipomanie certainly will look quite stunning with it. And your new purple jumper will go with many of your scarves, perhaps even your new one at the bottom of your post. The colors are quite nice.
Best regards,
Cynthia

Dear Cynthia, thank you so much for the suggestions. I tried the jumper with Tulipomanie and it worked really well. So pleased! Anyway, I have put a photo in Friday’s (17/11/23) post.
