On Wednesday it was my 18th birthday. 18th birthdays have a well-known reputation of being a big deal. Reaching it means you can have a legal drink, vote in elections, and be classed as a real live adult. Now I'm not sure about being a real live adult, but the other two are pretty exciting in my opinion. Don't ask me why but I was a little nervous in the lead up to my birthday. I suppose it's because I really wanted it to be a 'good' day; one that I'll have fond memories of and look back on in my 80s telling the grandkids about - that kind of day. But I didn't want to expect too much because sometimes I find that expectations can outweigh the actual experience.
I needn't have worried though, Wednesday was such a wonderful day I can't even tell you. What I will say is that I feel incredibly lucky to have such amazing family and friends, and that I was spoilt absolutely rotten! I won't go on too much because this blooming cold is making me sleepy and I want to get in an episode of Sherlock before I get to bed (yes, I know I'm incredibly late to jump on the bandwagon but at least I'm finally on it...) so for once I'll let the pictures do the talking. Before I go, I must say that it was a day filled with laughter, incredible food, Articulate, a drink at the OXO Tower Bar and reminders that the best things in life really aren't things at all. I hope you're all having a fab weekend!
