Thank you all once again for your good wishes and kind greetings.
I had a very nice birthday yesterday. Neighbours flocked round (including the two gay veterinary nurse ladies next-door, who have a Sanctuary for farm animals threatened with death by cold-hearted farmers). They are so sweet and kind, and may get married soon. They brought a lovely bouquet of flowers and some table mats with decorations of farm scenes. (I help them a bit financially with their Charity)
Husband sent me a lovely handbag (via a courier) and a card with lots of love in, and he's saying we'll probably get back together before long, which I long for.
My sister phoned and we had a lovely long chat. So did an old friend in Somerset, who's 83!
I sat on The Bench in the warm sun, and all the village dog-owners walked by with their pooches, wishing me a Happy Birthday. It was just lovely.
I feel so lucky, and the kind comments on Mudcat have added to that feeling. So thank you all again XX
