...and it’s not even over yet!

I have been so incredibly spoiled this weekend, and had such a wonderful birthday extravaganza.

First off, a whole fabulous day with my Top Chick, who is the bestest person one could hope to spend time with. Unwrapping of glamourous pink wrapped presents, followed by surprise makeovers, assessment of high-street shopping trends (v good or vv bad!), champagne cocktails, hat purchasing, dinner at my favourite bistro, home to meet our top men, a gorgeous present that I really wasn’t expecting, and then pink sparkles to celebrate two special occasions.

Early to bed, early to rise – yesterday’s glamour was contrasted by a walk in the woods, foraging for fungi. Happily this was under expert guidance, so no poisoning occurred, and we have a whole basket of mushrooms for tomorrow night’s dinner. Eating nature still excites me far more than is really cool, as is proven by the fact that the search for exciting varieties caused us to lose the rest of the group! Fortunately, the damsels in distress were rescued by two charming knights, and we all rode off happily into the sunset, pausing only for a quick lecture on how mushrooms with “Death” or “Avenging” in the name should definitely be avoided!

Tomorrow could hold all kinds of excitement, but definitely includes a visit to Jed Phoenix at LAM and Spaghetti with Honey Fungus and Chilli. See you all on the other side :-)
