This is the cake from the inside:
This is the tray of potatoes, carrots, onions and, most importantly, parsnips ready for roasting:
They were SO very good, the steak was a little bit unnecessary – but who turns down a steak when they’re offered one??! It was a very good steak too.
Here are the posh new christmassy tablemats (plus flowers and my new clock):
– It goes anticlockwise, because the Brits drive on the ‘wrong’ (!?) side of the road…
Cake looks amazing! Happy birthday

Thankyou!
Hope you have/had a lovely birthday. Food sounds yummy. I am going to my mums for my birthday on Sunday (she cooks lovely food – and I don’t!)
Hehe! Going to my mum’s for dinner is something like an 18 hour journey… But I’m going back for Christmas
I recommend it!
The food was really good – I bought ‘proper’ veggies from a local veggie shop, instead of the supermarket (where I usually get them – because I’m lazy..) and they are just so much better. I will have to get my act in gear and make an effort to buy real veg more often.
Birthdays are good things to have
Your comment about the new clock made me LAUGH! Anti-clockwise because the Brits drive on the wrong side of the road. I’m still cracking up! Happy (late) birthday. Looks like you spent it alone.
Lovely table scape you have there.
