Janet and I are 64 on Monday. She’s been up to do the garden today as my birthday gift and place looks clean and tidy and lovely in the late spring dusk, as she has also planted geraniums in terracotta pots to fill in the gaps.
The honeysuckle always flowers thickly on June 1st and already the scent above my front door is heady and is invading the whole cottage like an old friend visiting. Already I’ve had birthday gifts delivered, a novel from Australia , a cheerful Ukrainian flag coloured jacket from the German. We only get post once a week now, so I’m lucky if any cards will be forthcoming but I’m hoping.
Happy birthday to you. All the very best to you. And thank you for being there and for all you write. Look after youself, and if there is ever a chance to meet up I'd love to take it. My son had similar issues, is now fine and I do sympathise. Jxx
ReplyDeleteThank u
DeleteMissed it, sorry, is the German a friend. Or a FRIEND
ReplyDeleteA couple years ago, when I turned 64, I had a party and wore a 1970s maxi dress printed with giant, bright flowers. I asked my dear guests to sing me the Beatles’ “When I’m 64” and they did. I declared it such a happy memory that I don’t need any more birthday parties.
ReplyDeleteMay yours be a grand day full of Love.
The garden is looking lovely. A photo of you modelling the jacket, please! I hope you and Janet have a wonderful birthday. xx

DeleteAw, John. I imagine that Paul McCartney, who is now 83, probably looks back now upon his year of being 64 as part of the springtime of his youth.
ReplyDeleteAnd in a way- it was.
Yours can be too.
I feel far past my prime dearHeart xx
DeleteHappy B-day John and Janet.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your special day.
Remember, the best is yet to come.
Hold that thought...
Oh I doubt that xx
DeleteWishing you and Janet a wonderful birthday and envy that lovely and tidy garden she has created for you, us, and passersby to enjoy!
ReplyDeleteAre you two planning to go somewhere fun and special to celebrate together?
Hugs!
wishing both you and Janet the happiest of Birthdays...! or at least a VERY happy ONE for you both. Your garden looks lovely- how nice that she is near enough to you to be able to do that on a whim...... a true gift! I will lift my glass to you both on Monday! and it just doesn't seem quite right that you only receive post once per week now? WTH?
