Craig and I have carried on this tradition slightly. As we have our birthdays within 3 days of each other (mine July 23, his July 26), we have had this year our 'Birthday Week'.
It started with a trip to Lyme Regis:
We stopped at Bridport and to the beach (West Bay) where Craig's lifeguard career first started 5 years ago, then headed off to Lyme. The high street in the last picture had lots of lovely shops with old novelty items. We bought 2 old milk bottles from the 1980s.
Monday came and it was my birthday!
Craig woke me up at about 0430 and asked me to put on earphones and listen to music while he 'made his lunch'. He put on the song I walked down the aisle to (my brother arranged a piano version for the day) and i drifted in and out of sleep for 2 hours. at 0630 he came back to wake me up so we could go on a birthday adventure. I was told to keep my eyes closed while in the car the whole time. It was a little scary. What if he was going to kill me!? We drove around for about 15 minutes then we had to walk, still with my eyes closed. I could hear seagulls and the waves crashing on the sand, I sat down for 2 minutes and could smell the sea. I opened my eyes to find this:
What a stud!
