Tropic Party at Keri's!
Two of my work colleagues Bev, Hilary and I drove to Reepham this evening, to attend Keri's Tropic Party. Tropic is a range of skin and beauty range of products, which are freshly made, cruelty free (not tested on animals) and ingredients are sustainably sourced. It was great to catch up with Lily, Sarah A. and meet Keri's mother! Keri had made Terry's Orange chocolate brownies and mince pies – 10/10 baking! Also mulled wine for those that were not driving. There was a Christmas quiz, which I didn't do very well at, but then didn't expect to as I'm generally rubbish at quizzes. I succumbed and purchased the Body Smooth Refreshing Polish as it made my hands feel about 30 years younger and Illuma Light-diffusing Concealer – brûlée. We had a really lovely evening, but left later than intended – took an hour to drive each way. When I dropped Hilary off at her house, her wonderful cat Charlie was sitting outside her house waiting for her – I picked him for a hug – he was so lovely and soft, such a lovely cat – he soon wriggled to escape though, as he wanted his tea!
A Surprise Present!
Today I received a beautiful present, a unique and exquisite piece of art. It was made by a very talented young lady called Lauren, who is the daughter of one of my lovely colleagues. Lauren has never met me before and I was both taken back and quite emotional to receive such a gift this morning – a piece of work that has taken hours of creation and thought. At first I thought the Bee-eater was simply cut out and was shocked to hear from Linda (her mother) that she had drawn this Bee-eater with water soluble coloured pencils! What a brilliant bird artist! She had even found a postage stamp with the year I was born! If you are reading this Lauren, THANK SO MUCH!

Vivien's 50th Birthday Celebrations!
SATURDAY 23rd NOVEMBER
Lucy and I drove to Ely this afternoon and joined Vivien and Ray at The Cutter Inn in Ely, to celebrate (late) Vivien's 50th birthday. We had a three course meal and then Vivien's cake was brought out and we sang Happy Birthday to her. Went to a pub for a short while and then went back to Ray's narrow boat, where Vivien opened all her presents from us. Ate birthday cake, had a coffee and arrived back in King's Lynn at 12.20am.
Pictures to follow.......
