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 🙂
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 🙂 I recommend it!
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.
