Cause for celebration!

It was my birthday on Saturday and although I've made numerous references over the past few months to something I really really want - or perhaps because he doesn't want to spend that much - my husband professed himself unable to think of a suitable gift for me.  He did once suggest that for my birthday he might get a quote for having my mother's bureau restored, but as he got a blank stare in reply that notion died a death. 
 
As it was, we went out for the day to Machynlleth which is one of my favourite routes and we visited a couple of art galleries (but bought nothing) and then went out to a super restaurant in the evening.  It was a smashing day, and best of all, when my hub apologised for having bought me no present I suggested that no problemo and perhaps it would make more sense if the next time I saw something I really liked he could buy it and that would be my birthday present.  He thought that was a good plan.  He thinks he's going to get off light with some trifling thing.
 
We're going to Chester very very soon.  Boodle & Dunthorpe's here I come!   :O)))

Happy Birthday Fairy albeit late.  Machynlleth is a lovely town.  Hope you get the pressie you want.  A spare oar for the canoe might come in handy.......you could always poke him with it next year :) Rache
