Happy 21st, Little Sister.

Today my sister turns 21. Currently she's half way round the world, and over half way through her birthday, in Hong Kong. She's actually had the flu for the last few days so she's in her sick-bed but I think she's having a really great HK adventure and I'm proud of her for making it over there and having the confidence to do so many neat things on her own.

Happy Birthday, Lucy J!

Here's to yet another medium I can communicate to you through (we're on Facetime, Facebook, Skype, Instagram, WhatApp - it's ridiculous how many ways you can stay in touch with people nowadays)!

My actual birthday.

So my turning 21 was a pretty big deal. I got some great presents and had a really nice relaxing day in Brighton finished off with a posh, delicious meal. I think I've hit the point where being sophisticated is a bit more appealing than sprawling out on the floor, but I'm not going to speak to soon as home is obviously quieter than Uni and has a lot less opportunity to be a lout anyway. Not too sure how rowdy I fancy being in our perfect house though.

I was so pleased with the view from our hotel room, even if the room itself had a bit of a weird layout. It was so hot and sunny, so it was perfect birthday weather, although I just love Brighton anyway so I was even alright the following day when it rained.
The whole Brighton set can be found on Facebook.

Birthday Partay.

Ok, so I didn't take that many at my party - but hey, photography is like work to me, yeah?
It was a great afternoon, I really enjoyed it and I'm so thankful to everyone who came.
A full set of photos can be seen on Facebook because if I put all the ones that I like on her each post would be tremendously long and the whole blog would be mega cluttered.

My cake was huge, I think that there's still loads left, despite all the guests having been fobbed off with some. It was really tasty though.

Once I got back from a few drinks at the Kings Arms - and after realising why I cut myself off from my friends at home for a bit - I set off some sky lanterns with Moon and my sister. It was quite cool to do it myself, just remember that I'm not a copycat.
