ice cream in stone walls

don't ask me about the title. it came in a fit of madness genius.

as promised, a post on my darling sister's birthday.

it was a day full of present opening, walking, shopping, cake-eating and movie-watching.

yes. ridiculously cute bridges were a big part of it.

they should be part of all birthdays.

my sister, quite rightly, refused an ice-cream, as befits a girl her age.

but me? nope. I indulged in my childish love of ice-creams. 

be under no false pretensions, my loved ones: I do indulge in ice-cream.

a day spent peeking through stone walls. 

and reassuring my mum that the huge, massive bulls won't come and chase after her.

{linking up with macro monday}

ok. so we may have got just a little lost. and the walk actually turned out just a little longer than it was meant to be.

ok, a little-a-lot.

a day talking to little (or big, it's all a matter of perspective. right.) white calves, that get all excited when you run alongside them. beautiful little pink noses and long eyelashes. 

windswept hair definitely had something to do with my sister's birthday.

beth's hair looked like she had just gone to a salon at the end of our windy walk, and I looked like I had been through  hurricane Irene. yeah.

the walk ended with us all exhaustedly walking back to the car (after tea and birthday cake at a tiny, wee, sweet tea shop in a tiny, wee, sweet village) with me and Beth throwing hard red currants from an obliging bush at my dad and brother.

the best way to end a walk. 

and then the day ended with macaroni cheese, white chocolate & raspberry brownie, and a movie.

ready yourself for some emotional, soppy sentiments to my sister.

all I can say, my dearest, best of sisters, is that I don't know what I would do without you.

if you ever leave me, you'll be in so much trouble.

like, a lot.

I always stand in amazement of all the things you can do; you are crazy-talented, shockingly beautiful, and dreadfully patient with me. thanks for putting up with me and all my talkativeness.

I love you!
