Then, on the Saturday evening, the week before my birthday, Kev and I went to Sefton Park to watch the Moscow (all human!) State Circus. Kev had seen them advertised whilst he was working in Liverpool and knew I'd love to go... he was right! We had a great evening together whilst Bill and Noreen looked after Nathaniel for us. Unfortunately, we weren't allowed to use flash photography as it could prove to be hazardous for the performers so apologies for the lack of quality in the following non-flash photo but check out the acrobat's one-handed balance! Believe me when I say that is tame for the performances we saw!
Next in my birthday treat line-up came a trip to the theatre with Lorraine, dad and mum courtesy of Pete and Lorraine. We saw Twopence to Cross The Mersey at the Empire. It was a really enjoyable evening and reminded Lorraine and I how nice it had been when we used to visit the theatre together more regularly - maybe we'll manage not too sporadic visits again one day?!...
On Saturday 21st, Annette and Dave kindly agreed to have Nathaniel overnight so that we could let our hair down! Lynsey, Jay, Bree and Gary came over and we all got a takeaway before going out to Frodsham for a night on the town! We had a great time and had the bonus of a lie-in the next morning!!!
After picking up Nathaniel who'd been as good as gold for Annette and Dave, we went out for a lovely birthday lunch with Kev's cousins Larina and Joanne, their sons and Laz's boyf before going home to enjoy the DVD (Little Miss Sunshine) that Si and Lis had given me.
I had an abundance of cards from friends and family, lots of flowers and some other lovely gifts!
Like last year, this was definitely a birthday to remember! Last year I was pregnant and somewhere between Margaret River and Perth in Western Australia with my amazing husband. Very different but very special too!
