How I spent my big Oh-No birthday

How lucky I was to spend almost a whole week celebrating!
It started off with a trip with to one of my favourite restaurants in Leeds, Carluccio's with my lovely friends at work.  That was the Friday before.

Mmm the Deluxe antipasto to share (roasted peppers, salami, chargrilled vegetables, pancetta wrapped prawns, homemade pâté, bruschettine, warm baked spiced ricotta, marinated olives and toasted Italian bread)

Then my actual birthday was spent watching How to train your dragon with my boys, eating Fish and Chips and chocolate birthday cake. I had lots of lovely presents including this...

My birthday desk : Can you guess I am a Terry Pratchett fan? 

From the boys: ooh la laa baking.. a madeleine tin
