Each year I think I'm getting too old to celebrate my birthday and each year my children bless me more.
Lee and I were still awake at midnight and at one minute to 12 he started a countdown to wish me for my 74th birthday.
This morning Lee took me to Bagels and Beans in Diemen for a breakfast - what a treat!! This was a gift from Richard (Lee and Eden's father)
This was taken on the way
I was wearing a new pair of shorts and a wind breaker jacket - a gift from Lee and Eden. It's been so hot lately - almost as hot as Cyprus - and as we stepped out there was a very cool wind - so the jacket was perfect and made my day to be able to wear it straight away.
Orange, and shades of it - one of my favourite colours - also the National colour of the Netherlands
Breakfast was absolutely delicious. I had a breakfast bagel with crispy bacon - came with an orange juice and a cappuccino.
Bagel with cream cheese and bacon, strawberry jam - and came with an orange juice and a cappuccino
Lee ordered a bagel with a sun-dried tomato taste with chicken and a peanut butter sauce
cappuccino's and orange juice also very good
Loved this saucer
And then as we got home Lee dashed away and came back with some sunflowers for me and some apple tarts.
Gorgeous sunflowers - also matching my outfit
Very yummy apple pie from Albert Heijn - our local supermarket
Hope I don't get addicted to these. Second one placed in the deep freeze for another time!!
Lee has taken the day off work on Friday and has some plans for us so I'll continue with my spoils in my next post.
Hope you've enjoyed my special day with me.
Your outfit is perfect for a Dutch summer's day, I love the orange jacket.
All the Apple pastries are so good in the Netherlands. Lovely photos, making me hungry!Awe belated happy birthday wishes @pandamama, you are such a lucky Mama!
Thanks @lizelle the shorts and jacket were a perfect present - and I love orange and shades of it. Wish you had been here to share the day with me
I am really a lucky mama @lizelle - the orange jacket/windbreaker was a present from Lee and Eden. Came in so useful as it rained yesterday when we went to Amsterdam and the weather had changed and there was quite a chill in the air.
