Today is my birthday :-) which I will spend at work :-( However, not to be thwarted in the pursuit of enjoyment, I decided to start celebrating on Saturday and went for a mega-treat, Afternoon Tea at one of Glasgow's loveliest restaurants, Rogano. Decorated in the Art Deco style, it is just beautiful, like stepping back to the 1930s. And the food?
It was a lovely way to spend the afternoon with friends, we all enjoyed it immensely.
Why stop when you're having fun, Sunday was a big family gathering and trip to Pizza Express for nice food and chat.
3 boys on the town in their chefs hats!
Birthday cake too!
Purple presents
and cards for this purple-loving gal!
I'm having a quiet birthday tea tonight with loved ones to round off an extended birthday weekend.
So that's it, another year older, now I'm 46, an age which sounded positively geriatric to me when a teenager........now I've got here, it's just fine!
Happy birthday!! The afternoon tea looks lovely!

Happy birthday, pleased the chilly weather isn't stopping the celebrations. Rogano is a fabulous, only been once but I felt like a queen, bet you did too. And take it from me, 46 is positively juvenile.
