The last two weeks have certainly been busy. I had one of those special birthdays (half a century) which happened to be on the day that the snow first fell heavily on the Wirral. After receiving a fabulous surprise present from my family (which I'll show you in a future post) we then spent 6 hours in the car on a journey that normally takes an hour. We did get back just in time to go out for dinner at The Portrait House http://www.theportraithouse.co.uk/ . We are so lucky to have such a lovely restaurant within walking distance. A few days later came the birthday party, at Number Fifteen, which was another lovely evening, notable amongst other things for several guests arriving in the unusual combination of black ties and walking boots.
