All set for a bright future!
Happy 26th birthday to my son, James! Yesterday we went to Leeds to kick off the celebrations in style. His new apartment had been looking very bland and white and needed an injection of colour. A bit of artwork on the walls, rug, cushion, potted plant… and do you recognise BB8 sitting there on the windowsill? Happy in his new home. As we hope James will be.
It hasn’t all been smooth sailing. Life seldom is, is it? Leeds is a city busy reinventing itself. An interesting juxtaposition of old and shiny new. James is a big fan of Asian cuisine, and we ate at Bar Soba in The Light- a new complex for dining and entertainment. It’s good to be optimistic about the future. Optimistic and full of hope, as the weekly challenge suggests.
Have a lovely weekend and I hope to see you on Monday for another walk.
Happy belated birthday to James! I had to smile, looking at those Chinese spoons, since I just wrote a post about them 🙂 Oh Jo, I barely managed to blog at all last week, so I’ve some catching up to do. Sorry this is so late, but it looks like James (and you) had a wonderful celebration 🙂 xx

I’m in an Internet cafe in Faro while Mick tests the local Francesinha. No worries about catching up. Getting work done on your book is so much more important xx

He’s home again this weekend, to let me ‘catch up’ with his laundry before we go away. Such a thoughtful son! 🙂 🙂 But I love him!

I have wondered? 🙂 This isn’t really my challenge and is run on a Saturday by Cate at Show My Face. I always have a link in my Saturday posts. You’re very welcome to join me, but I don’t think that that is your intention? But thank you anyway 🙂

Happy Birthday to James! What a lovely dinner (my three children love this kind of food – I do too, but rarely get to see it here in the country) 😀

I just got a text from him to let me know he’s back safe in Leeds. Nightmare driving in big city Birmingham. I can relax now 🙂
