This year, my birthday was celebrated in style in London (and Bath) - a fabulous weekend trip with Mum & Tom!  We saw some sights, had some wine, met some friends, had some more wine, saw a show, went on the London Eye, had some more wine, visited Hampton Court, warmed up by having some wine...and went out for a few lovely meals too!!
