a very good morning to you all :o) thank you so much for all your birthday wishes they made my day .its great to know i have so many good friends :o)..well my birthday was`nt quite complete as my eldest lad is working away from home and so could`nt get home from where he is the first time ever he has`nt been here for my birthday .i was taken out though by june ,my youngest son ,my daughter in law and my 3 grandkids to a posh italian restaurant where we had a lovely meal and then went bowling .we were out for the best part of 5 hours and had a great time .ashleigh took some pics with her camera so you will probably see them on her page .she informs me she now wants a camera like mine cos mine takes better pics :o)..although i must admit she handles my camera better than her compact but thats not to say she`s getting one . it seems the weather is starting to warm as this rose shoot shows. taken earlier in the week . have a great sunday my friends and take care .thanks as always for your support and friendship mick
