Similes for sisters x x x

The end of May is a glorious time for a March Hare such as I! Two women very dear to my heart have birthdays. Charlotte, for who I don't remember life without. My beautiful sister, when we were little my Nana used to say we were like chalk and cheese. That Eleanor would think about it and Charlotte would do it. There maybe some truth in that. But in some respects we are peas in a pod we are crystal clear about the most important things. Our morals, trustworthy nature, our loyalty and commitment to family.

We had a wonderful night last night, a lovely hand-knit woolly jumper of friends met in a Hexham Indian. My sis was pretty as a picture and got spoilt. We all drank like fishes, ate like kings and due to a relatively early night (in spite of Charlotte's distaste- she was well up for a Donnie's mission!) woke fresh as a daisy!

Soon I'm off for a birthday adventure for lovely Emma's 30th! Here are a couple of antidotes/memory's I wish to remember forever of Miss Beattie.. These are going to be printed on bunting for the party.

On holiday with Beats in the US of A, we had daily spray time, Emma taught me the joy of body boarding, she coached me in riding a bike along the sands. We got caught in an electrical storm, we were the only two people who ran smiling towards each other and the sea! Happily picking up our favourite kind of shells till we realised the whole beach was deserted and my Mum's batty neighbour Mary T was shouting at us from her balcony,'Girls get the frick off the beach!!!' Ha ha, laughter and fear have never been so closely coupled! Do you remember when we watched the day after tomorrow, then there was a HUGE storm shaking all the windows and blowing the sun loungers over the wall! Emma my love, If there was a disaster going on I'd choose to be with you every time! Keep smiling and remember not to peer to closely on baby birds their mummy's are vicious and may fly after your head!! All my love Ellie x x x

If you want a space to be magically transformed Emma is the lady for the job. Em's creativity is something to behold, she will move any piano in her way to create the desired effect. I've seen her transform a grey room into a Mexican party den, complete with the kind of party games you squealed for at 7. Most recently, our living room became a room of rich celebration for my 30th. The sunshine banners had to stay and the birthday chair was a piece of art. I nearly went to check the night before as it sounded like someone had broke in and was smashing things! A week later the living room was changed again into 225's spa! But the best decor must of been the outdoor living room, one of the many 58 specials. I was on mushrooms with an eye patch (being a pirate for a night) and I cannot describe the wonder and fairy light glory when I took my patch off and had the power of two eyes!! :) Love you Miss Beattie. Thank the lord you got the job at Kenton! You are an inspiring, beautiful and amazing friend to have and my life is so much richer for having you in it!! x x x x

For now I am as keen as mustard, best get the car packed and be on our way as quick as a flash. For tonight will be sweet as a nut. :)
