Birthday Celebration in Folkestone

 Sunday was my 46th birthday!

The four of us headed South to Folkestone to celebrate with TE's parents. 

I've written about Folkestone before, here and here.

 But, first we stopped at the Battle of Britain Memorial to take in the views.

 TE showing the in-laws the view of Folkestone, where he grew up.

Momma & Mr. B

 This lab was so sweet.  When he saw the dog statue he ran up to it wagging his tail, 

eager to make a new friend.

They touched noses and he looked so deflated when he realized it wasn't real. 

Then on to Folkestone.

We stopped at TE's childhood home for tea and cake.  Love my glam cake!

But, I make cutting it look so perplexing.  What's that about?

 These gorgeous, massive sunflowers are in his parent's garden.

This one is well over 7 feet tall.  They're so pretty.

We took Mom & Mr. B down to the Folkestone harbor area for a quick tour.

One of the few sand beaches in England.

Then we had dinner at Rock Salt before heading back to London.

I've been picking up a few gifts for myself over the past few weeks.

 A carry bag for my Kindle made from a suit sleeve.

And my new friend, Jerry the wellie wearing duck.

Mom & Mr. B gave me a warm, cozy scarf which will be perfect for this winter.

TE surprised me with a new camera lens and a shutter remote...woohoo!

But, the best was spending the day surrounded by loved ones

and receiving so many birthday wishes from family and friends. 

 Thanks for making my special day so very special!
