Kate's birthday sleepover took place yesterday although her actual birthday is on Friday. She had requested a game of badminton with her friends before a birthday tea, evening watching DVDs and pancakes for breakfast the following morning.

Her friends are a joy to have in the house. I watched Kate open her presents and I was touched by how carefully they had been chosen, wrapped and presented. I was also happy to see how gracious and grateful Kate was with everything she'd been given.

Also that evening, I went out with my great friend CL, we had, as usual, a really nice time catching up on each others news.

Just two more snaps from Monday's visit to Erddig. I'm not feeling so good today - very headachy. I've not done a whole lot - cleared up after our guests, made Kate's birthday cake and just spent some time outside with the macro lens trying to take photos of my magnificent alliums full of rain drops - it's been wet pretty much all day!

It sounds like Kate and her friends had a lovely time. Sorry to hear you're not feeling 100%. The weather doesn't help does it?:(

Hope you are feeling better. Grey days don't help a whole lot. Sounds like your daughter has lovely and she had a terrific party.

Hope your head is feeling better - I empathize, my sinuses are in an uproar.

Kate and her friends sound lovely, her birthday bash sounds like it was great fun.
