Books, books, books! It must be my birthday!

April 19, 2013 by 




It was my birthday today and I decided to take a break from daily life for a real treat - I went to a bookshop and whiled away a morning reading picture books.



It was a beautiful Spring day - the cherry blossoms have finally blossomed on our street after the long hard winter.



And when I checked my Facebook page, I had a warm, tingly deluge of birthday greetings from my friends.


A perfect day.

      Thanks Jan. I was at a loss on what to do with my birthday. Then I remembered what I used to do with my mum.
