Thank you to everyone for the wonderful birthday wishes, gifts, cards and messages. They are all really appreciated. It’s been a great day seeing some lovely friends and wasn’t that a spectacular sunset this evening!

Anyone else really struggle with #Vinted. I bought a bag over a month ago now and I never received it. Royal Mail has admitted their error and the seller can claim back from them - but #Vinted have not given me my money back despite their “buyer protection” and say they are still investigating!!!

As you know, each year I make a donation to a charity in lieu of cards and this year have chosen Medical Aid for Palestinians.
I'd like to wish all my friends and family, wherever you are, and whatever festival you're celebrating, a really happy and restorative time, and may 2025 be a good one!
