Firstly I would like to thank everyone for all the comments and congratulations we received on the occasion of our Silver Wedding and my birthday, they were all really appreciated.
We had a lovely day and we were blessed with beautiful weather, as far as I can remember it is always gorgeous weather on our Wedding Anniversary.
We celebrated at a beautiful Country House Hotel in the Lake District, once for the Anniversary and returning two days later for my birthday!
First the dessert because they are always my favourite! 
For the birthday meal I chose steak and chips for my main course and it was delicious!
DH had duck for the main course
I had soup for starters and DH had salmon
The restaurant where we celebrated our Silver Wedding and my Birthday.
Before I left for the holiday I was treated to an unexpected surprise in the post from Jill who sent me this lovely birthday gift, I was totally blown away by her generosity, in fact I skipped around all day! Jill made this beautiful pillow and enclosed some gorgeous goldwork threads, DMC threads and a handmade marking pin.

I had every intention of stitching on my HAED Gothic Rose but unfortunately did not get much stitching done on that, however I did get quite a bit of stitching done on the three private exchanges that I am currently working on, although they are not finished yet.
I also sent out the Mirabilia Pattern to Kim that she won on my blog giveaway and I decided to put in this little surprise pinkeep for her daughter.
Thankyou for the ecard Kim that was very thoughtful of you!
Happy stitching everyone and thankyou for visiting!

A woman after my own heart ... dessert first! Congratulations on the b'day and the anniversary. What date was the actual b'day? I didn't see it mentioned in blogs beforehand.
I've been thinking about you, and hoping that your anniversary and birthday were all that you dreamed they would be, and more! I know you've been looking forward to this for a long time!
Obviously Mother Nature approves, and prepared her best, for your special holiday! And so did the restaurant! What yummy looking food! Almost too pretty to eat! The whole setting looks so lovely.
And what a nice surprise from your friend! And then you pass along another surprise. .you are both such kind hearted sweeties!
Thank you so much for sharing your photos with us! I'm happy that you had a wonderful getaway, but we missed you, and are glad to know that you returned home safely!
