My birthday has come to an end...and we all enjoyed an easy day...
especially dear JoJo who loves all occasions!!!
Here I have bought flowers for myself...My Dad always used to bring us breakfast in bed along with a flower in a vase...
Something I have never forgotten...
so when I saw this pretty bunch it brought back those wonderful memories!!!

A potholder here that my Friend Geo delivered to me not so long ago for my birthday along with a bookmark...With this potholder you can play noughts and crosses on it with Sea Glass...
what a great idea...Thanks so much Geo!!!
We had our little Grandson overnight...with his Mum following in the morning...
and decided to go into town and have pancakes for breakfast!!!

Here is our view...
But, first a coffee...
Back home again to a surprise gift...check out the Eiffel Tower bag...how cool is that!!!Thank you so much Dee!!!
We went to have some chicken 'n chips by the Clyde River...looking across the River you can see a blue building...
this is the 'On The Pier' Restaurant...
Saw a pelican atop a pole...
and in the water...
Across to 'On The Pier' for afternoon tea...a trio of home-made ice cream...sorbet...sauce!!!
Apple and Mint Sorbet...a slice...passionfruit curd...
More coffee...Hot Chocolate and an AffogattoAn affogato (Italian, "drowned") is a coffee-based beverage or dessert. It usually takes the form of a scoop of vanilla gelato or ice cream topped with a shot of hot espresso and a shot of Amaretto .
Back home for cake...Seeing we have a busted oven at the moment I went and ordered a Gluten Free White Chocolate on Fig and Cointreau cake from North Street Cafe and Bar...
for a recipe for a White Chocolate on Fig cake have a look here
This is one of many recipes sent to me by Laura...Thank you so much Pooch!!!
Another surprise gift from Margaret, this gorgeous Table Runner...Thank you Margaret!!!
And then from Natima the most beautiful, smoothest chocolate...
Nat recently returned from a trip to Japan...
and brought back this paper-made colourful little bowl...
and a needlecase...
And then another gift during the week from Andrea 
Thank you so much Andrea...I love it!!! We had a great day...Thank you so much everyone...especially to my wonderful Family!!!
And in this post I'd like to wish Anita a very Happy Birthday...have a great one!!!

So many lovely presents for you, dear Dzintra! And I love how you keep up your Dad's tradition with those lovely flowers. I think he is still smiling!
Carnations somehow remind me of my mother, so it is so nice to see one!
