Oh for the love of Birthdays...

Yesterday was one of my very best friends 21st birthday, and until my sister follows suit in 3 years time it'll be the last big birthday that's happening in my close circle for quite some time. Last year was wonderfully mental; umpteen 21st celebrations including my own, an 18, 50 and 80th! Plus on a vaguely unrelated note there was my grandparents Golden Wedding anniversary and I attended my first wedding!


So my bank account is breathing a sigh of relief at least, but not me. I love birthdays and everything that comes along with. Maybe I'm biased, when shopping in Edinburgh you are beyond spoilt for choice, its no chore wandering around the city thinking about what someone you care about would love and stumbling upon the perfect gift or silly bits and pieces that make you giggle at the memory of why she'd love it.


And to top it all off, after a great week shopping I'm spending the weekend with a large glass of wine in a nice restaurant (A Room In The West End - can. not. wait.). Like I said, I love birthdays.
