Happy Birthday to me 2016

Nobody should have to work on their birthday, so I always try to book it as holiday.

For this years birthday I decided to go back to one of my favourite places "The Harry Potter Studio Tours" in Leavesden. Even though this would be my third visit I knew I would still love being there and would basically smile all the way round! (I wont bore you too much with photos....)

It was all Christmassy

The Goblet of fire - look at all the amazed faces....

Don't try this at home kids....

Scared by a Dementor onboard the Hogwarts Express

Hogwarts - A Snow Scene. This is possibly my most favourite part of the tour

Spot the snowman....

A tribute to an amazing man we sadly lost on the day of my visit :-(

What an absolutely amazing day I had (once again) which was followed by a yummy Mexican with the biggest bottle of Corona you have ever seen, a whopping 710ml....and why not it was my birthday afterall.

Happy Birthday to me!

Why did they have to give me such a small glass?

Following on from this amazing day out was yet another amazing day with my girlies. We headed to Winchester for a spot of culture, shopping and a really lovely afternoon tea at The Winchester Royal Hotel (darling):

Meet the pretty ladies

Just because this makes me laugh!

 ALL THE CAKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There was so much food to share between the 4 of us, and it was all very very yummy. The sandwiches were fresh and the scones were still warm, Just perfect!! There was no way we were leaving anything, I even forced the last unwanted teacake down so it didnt get left all alone on the plate...;-) I was so full after this (no regrets!).

It was such a perfect day, I dont think I have laughed so much in a long time.

Anyway, it was definately the best birthday I have had in a very, very long time, and hopefully this has started  a tradition of going for afternoon tea for all girly birthdays!

Massive thanks to the parentals and my three best friends for making my 37th birthday, a bithday to remember xoxo

Yay! Prosecco!
