lemon drizzle

Birthday Boy(friend)

So he turned 24!

When we woke up I made him stay in bed. I arranged his presents in the living room, and stuck up secret post-it notes in strange places around the house to remind him that it was his birthday etc. For the card I adapted this photo. Oh and one of those presents is a certain polar bear :).

Last year for his birthday I gave him this message in a tiny bottle. I said if he couldn’t get the message out he could open it on his next birthday. I thought it was would need to be smashed but it wouldn’t break even when we tried using an iron. So I got some tweezers, which he hadn’t thought of, and we got the message out. message in a bottle P1010167

Then, I made his requested cake; lemon drizzle. I used the hummingbird recipe and it was delicious. If I do say so myself.

We also went out for dinner to a delicious indian place with his parents. I think he enjoyed his day. The sun even shone for a little bit.
