Loving being finally allowed to open this birthday present to find this awesome cookbook all about the Channel Islands. Scallops with Avocado, French Beans & Hazelnut Dressing?? Yes, please!!
Loving that my friends will help fuel my food and cookbook obsession, and that I’m obviously a little bit predictable!
Loving that my best friend is a mind reader, and gave me this gorgeous Newbies jewellery tree without knowing I’d been coveting one for quite some time!
Loving this daffodil cake, made by my mum:
Loving that Tall granted me my wish of NO birthday presents, but just a card from Tiny, and a delicious meal cooked by himself (Chicken Saag from this book). Bliss!
Lastly, and not birthday related, loving this little video a friend in London put together following the riots last week: http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/1070/pe3.mp4. I’ve cried every time I’ve watched it; that the destructive nature of a few can devastate so many is heartbreaking, and I mourn for those innocent bystanders who lost so much during this time.

Tall, Short, Tiny & a Pickle 
Wow – that tree is so cute and mmmm, that cake looks amazing. So moved by the rioting ;(
It says a lot about the people in your life when they know exactly what spins your wheels. Happy Birthday x
Sounds like a perfect birthday. Enjoy your cooking 🙂
