So I hadn’t officially planned to start my birthday week until this weekend, but my lovely neighbour kicked it off tonight with dinner at their house followed by a birthday cake! Winning all round! No dishes for me and chocolate cake to boot.

On my birthday last year, another one of our wonderful neighbours made me a birthday cake as well (“because you have to have cake on your birthday!”) I agreed whole heartedly.

I know I’ve said it before, and I know I bang on about it, but we really do have the best neighbours around.

I guess my birthday week might be lasting a bit longer this year!
