My 35th birthday

Ate with family at Nags Head en route to Flask Dam, just outside of Sheffield. After lunch walked round Flask Dam.

Finished time with family with nibbles and birthday cake at my house.

I then went to the pub to listen to some live music.

Birthday Jewellery from my parents

18th birthday bracelet. It was from Maysons in Keswick.

21st bracelet. A traditional 21st present is a watch but, I did not and still not really like wearing watches; I preferred to have something pretty rather then functional for my wrist. My Mum agreed I could look for a bracelet as I was living in London at the time I looked and bought the bracelet on my own. It is swarovski.

23rd birthday necklace. This was the year I graduated. My graduation ceremony was shortly after my birthday. My Mum gave me the necklace saying, I was a star for my degree and the necklace had a star on.

My 30th birthday necklace. A ruby necklace my Mum bought when she was on holiday in Turkey,

 

I’m not entirely sure which birthday this was, possibly 32 or 33. I did not know what I wanted for my birthday. My Mum was going to Dubai when it was my birthday so said she would bring a surprise back.

My 35th birthday necklace.

My 18th Birthday

The day before my birthday I travelled to London with a friend. That night we saw Robbie Williams at Earks Court. After the show we got back to the hotel about 11.30 so when I started the drink, I was just below the age for legally drinking alcohol, by the time I finished it was legal.

On my birthday we went to The Dome. It was 2000 the Dome had opened they year as an exhibition centre. The worlds largest diamond 💎 was on show.

We got the train home. The weekend had been a present from my parents. However when I got back I was surprised with a little black box from Maysons in Sheffield. Inside was a bracelet.

Later in the week I had a Chinese meal with family.

My 33rd birthday: Liverpool including John Lennon and Paul Mcartney childhood homes and eye

On my 33rd birthday, I took the train to Liverpool.

I had lunch at Wagamamas.

After lunch I saw Paul McCartney and John Lennon’s childhood homes. The homes are now owned by the National Trust. You meet at a hotel and are taken on a mini bus playing Beatles music to the houses. It was interesting hearing about the two Beatles. Also the houses have been restored to how they were at the Time Beatles live in. This is really interesting and important restoration work as mostly it is much older buildings that are restored.

Paul Mcartney Childhood Home

I ended my time in Liverpool by going on the eye that was there at the time.

My 30th

The weekend before my birthday I had a chocolate lock in with friends at Cocoa.
After the lock in, one friend and I proceeded to the Leadmill. I had, an operation on my leg about 8 weeks before but with painkillers and my friend’s encouragement I managed to keep dancing untill Leadmill shut at 4.

On the day of my birthday I travelled home to my family. I got to spend the afternoon with my baby nephew. Then the whole family went out for Chinese.

My 21st

My 21st was the last time I worked on my birthday. I was working in a clinical trials unit in London. I think I did a fairly standard shift 7.30 – 4ish. Then after work met up with a couple of people from work for a bite to eat and some drinks at Walkabout in Wimbledon.

 The next day, after work got the train home to parents. It was about midnight when got to my parents. In the morning I got to open some presents. Later on the that day we saw the Stereophonics.

The following day we went out as a family for Chinese.
