I'm thankful for the wonderful people who have made the budding year so spectacularly special.
The sister who opened her home, packed a hamper full of my childhood favourites, and hosted a birthday dinner;
The parents who cooked, carved, slaved over well-intended presents, and made me feel 9 all over again;
The kids who volunteered drawings, hugs and chocolate;
The aunts and uncles who joined in the fun;
The cousins who walked in the rain, bought the cake and Paul Smith key ring, and provided plenty of laughs and girly insensibilities;
The friends from all over who remembered, and sent love;
The partner (in crime) who sent orchids, a gesture that made my mellow day pink again.
Thank you. xoxo
