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.
