Birthday Flowers and Giveaways.


Today is my Birthday ,
I won't tell you how old,
 but Mr T and I have also celebrated 31 years of marriage this week
so that should give you some idea, 
although of course I was a child bride (Lol).



So my house is full of beautiful flowers from my children


and we have had a lovely lunch at Holkham Hall
with our some great friends where Mr T was 
drooling over this beauty.



The big Norfolk skies were a brilliant blue
and I should have put sun cream on.



Our friend Martin Wall is a fantastic artist and
 I have shown some of his work before 
in Februarys scavenger hunt
but this is his latest gorilla.
Wiggo a go go is currently at Holkham Hall for a large cycling event
over the weekend and as he is Mr. T's  hero he just had
to have his photo taken with him.


These Gorillas are for a trail around Norwich during the summer
called Gorilla a go go which I'm really looking forward to and 
 which Martin has painted 3 gorillas for.
After the trail finishes they are all auctioned off for charity,
I only wish I could afford one.

I got an e-mail this morning to say I had 
won 
one of the fantastic  brooches in the
Giveaway over at Dog Daisychains.
What a great day I'm having sooooo

to include you all in my celebrations, to 
say thank you for being such great people
and helping me through what has been a difficult
start to the year for me and my family
I'm having my own giveaway.




The prize is a set of pins from
 Just Another Button Company,
a pin cushion made by me to put them in
and one of their needle threaders.
  
There are no hoops to jump through, just be a follower and leave a comment below. 
 Although please make sure
you  either have a blog or leave an e-mail address so I can get in touch with you
if you win.

Entry will be open until the 10th May
and 
Good Luck.

I'm off for a glass of bubbly before my dinner
so see you soon.
