Thank you, all. I had a very unremarkable birthday, but as you know, I have something else in my life which is far more exciting than celebrating 47 years on this planet.
I had some beautiful books, a (signed) Trisha Yearwood CD, a gorgeous bunch of flowers, a bottle of Laurent Perrier rose champagne (which was delivered chilled, so it would have been churlish not to despatch it in short order!) and some John Lewis and M&S gift cards.
