Happy Birthday Sam

9 years ago we waited expectantly to meet the new addition to our family - to finally greet the living being that had kept us up at night and was due to keep us up for many more nights to come - she arrived at 22.05
The child who has always been "sunny from the inside out", who dances her way through life and no doubt will leave a colourful imprint on many peoples hearts. A girl with attitude, who is compassionate and loving,


Happy Birthday Sam

This years creation was Rocky the rabbit :-)



and finally, just because it's not in me to give up on something - last years ( now inedible) Brambly hedge :-)


Tonight we can finally sit comfortably in the living room, instead of in the kitchen while I model tiny pernickity bits of mice!

However, before we get to that stage it is imperative that as many of the Birthday gifts as can be, get properly looked at or used.
This leads to the discovery that the pink plastic ties needed to attach the pink bike basket to the bike have been accidently thrown away - fortunately the bin men haven't been since last night and so we can retrieve them from the old bin bag.
This also reminds us of the numerous times we have had to search for lost items, always in the last bin bag to be searched - and also that, in rummaging, there is a strange sensation of reliving past evenings and events, pieced together by the rubbish they have generated - though I have to say, out of choice, memories and photos are far preferable!
