| Some gorgeous photos we found of Steve with his Dad on the beach when he was little. |

| A memento of my hair-raising bike ride across the Golden Gate Bridge. I don't like cycling at the best of times but noone told me it was going to be a 9 mile trip from San Francisco to Sausalito. I couldn't stop on the bridge as that would hold up the other cyclists behind me. I'm glad we went back to beautiful Sausalito a couple of days later to see it without the stress. Bike The Bridge is not an attraction I would personally recommend although Steve thought it was amazing. Hmm Venus and Mars comes to mind! And really, those hats! |

My Dad's 80th Birthday Party
My dear Dad was 80 years old on the 19th January and my older brother and his wife hosted a party for him in their lovely home in Buckinghamshire. All the family were there and it was just the nicest day you could imagine. I must thank my sweet sister-in-law Julie for all the work it took to organise it so well.

| A real family gathering |
The spread was amazing, to which my personal contribution was the cupcakes and the birthday cake; the famous Rainbow Cake. I was so pleased with the outcome and glad I decided to splash out on the Wilton gel colourings to get the beautiful, vivid effect inside. Admired by all and it didn't half taste good too, even if I do say so myself!!!

| HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD! |
I have pledged a Monthly Make for 2012
I signed up for this at Annie, the Felt Fairy's blog at the beginning of the year and, apart from the layouts above and the baking I have done, I found the time to make this dear little felt owl which was from a free template at Bugs and Fishes by Lupin blog I loved making it but feel he needs a friend or two now to keep him company!
Thanks for looking.
