my birthday

I had my birthday on Monday. I was happy to get this weekday journal from my friend J from the Netherlands. J birthday letter was brilliant and it made me laugh. We have been sending each other birthday letter now for almost 15 years.  

 I got flowers  and some lovely cardsfrom our neighbours.

This year I started a new tradition and bought myself a present. The peony is my favorite flower and it blooms around my birthday. I also bought Charlaine Harrises lates book. I really like reading it in the evening.

I had a cake picnic with friends from Finland in Hyde Park.

We are still building a lego castle with my son in the honor of my birthday. I have heard that people stop celebrating their birthdays when they grow up. I just think birthdays are too much fun to stop at 30.
