My special day in the middle of June. Started like this - fragrant red roses. And ended with even more roses. I am now longer growing in the physical aspect, ignoring the scales from time to time... Getting younger is not quite right too, so getting wiser hopefully fits the day. MidJune was midweek too this year. Yes I am using the Midsummer idea - love it. It was a lovely day and hopefully the beginning of a lovely year. I have some gifts to pick up myself too, so the start feels good. No baking this year - such hot weather lately. So I picked a nice tall cake and saved some hours by the oven. Or just put them off for calmer evenings LOL. Plus I even managed to find a place for my car in a busy hour just a few meters away from the pastry shop in a busy crowded area with no parking lots - the birthday luck.
