On the birthday eve.

Park1

Today, for the first time ever, I realised how lucky I am to have my birthday at this time of the year.  After the years of sulking that I had to go to school on my birthday, in the dark no less, whilst my brother's birthday always fell in the glorious holidays, this morning I woke up and it dawned on me.  

How could I ever be ungrateful for all of this?

This morning I borrowed a dog and a lead and went to explore without a direction in mind.  We walked miles and miles until the poor puppies feet hurt and my face was windburnt, then we sat side-by-side and I ate a muffin and she a chew and we watched the world walk by.
Autumn is magnificent.

Now I am going to quietly tidy the house in preparation of visitors and festivities tomorrow, reveling in the smell of baking birthday cake.

    1. I know right?! Scaredy little thing though - big leaves, squirrels and magpies are all terrifying if you are that small apparently!

    1. Oh I wish it was my dog, I loan her out from a friend from time to time! I think there is a definite need for a doggy rental service in Wales!
