My Birthday

Okay so this one’s a little late coming. A month late to be exact. But I thought I’d do a little post about my birthday.

This is kind of the first birthday I’ve properly celebrated in Manchester, so it’ll be remembered. For any of you born in the Summer, I’m not sure if you agree, but everyone is always away on my birthday…or there’s a wedding…or a festival (usually Secret Garden). So I don’t often do anything big. But being the end of July, the weather is often pretty good, so that’s a bonus!

This year, I decided to be a real birthday girl and celebrate about 30 seconds from my house :-). We spent the day sat on Chorlton Green, in the sun, with a cooler full of Pimms and Prosecco.

Our best friends from down South – Danni and Matt, joined us for the weekend, so we had to introduce them to Bar San Juan on Beech Road, to line our stomachs. Then we made our way to the green, grabbed a couple of blankets from home to lie on and started mixing our drinks.

We were joined by friends throughout the day and Bobbi even made an appearance for a bit.

I couldn’t have wanted more – sat in the sunshine, booze and mates – perfect! I can’t say I was feeling too clever the next day though…oops!

Is your birthday a big deal? What do you usually do?
