The last day of my youth finally arrived, and to be honest I was quite looking forward to it: I was spoilt rotten!
Peter bought me another beautiful Chagall, L'Ange (The Angel) for my birthday, which we shall hang in the drawing room of Willowbrook for all our guests to enjoy:
To celebrate we had a large picnic out at Willowbrook Park. My friend Jackie baked a lovely cake:
We had a large Arabian marquee and a BBQ set up at the current stable block. From there people could stroll over the park and admire the plantings, the lake, and all the animals.
I would like to thank all my friends and family who turned up and made it such a special day.
Non Seq: Last week it was finally dry enough to put in the gate to our farm, and a 9 wired fence on either side. I hadn't realised how deep one had to dig to put in strainer posts! Anyway, with the help of my grandfather we managed to get it finished by my birthday:
Happy Birthday!! My 30th is coming up this year and I hope to have a big adventure (although not as big an adventure as building a country estate such as yours!)
ReplyDeletePS -chagall is my favorite artist - what an amazing gift.
David the happiest of birthday wishes to you! I loved turning 30, mind you that was 24 years ago, but I remember the feeling of delight it bought me. You've got such exciting days ahead of you now, enjoy each & every one.

P.S. I see we are both Capricorn people - it figures!
Happy Birthday David! You will enjoy your 30's. They are a great decade!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry not to have caught up while we were in NZ. We did manage to get to Hamilton on 2 occasions but were madly rushing around visiting with old friends and visiting my beloved Hamilton Gardens of course. For some reason your blog isn't appearing on my blog roll at the moment so I have missed your past few posts.
