MY BIRTHDAY 2012

This year has been a gastronomic extravaganza! Cookies, Coffee, Cinnamon Buns, Cheesecake!

I've never been a huge birthday guy but I'm turning the grand out age of 24 and a lot of 'stuff' has fallen into place nicely! I had some good news at work, got a Nexus 7 and a nice shiny new laptop to play with all weekend. It made up for the huge amount of driving I've been doing recently.

On Friday night after a good tennis session I returned home to a plate of freshly baked chocolate coffee cookies care of Hannah and a batch of cinnamon buns ready to be put in the oven on Saturday morning which left the house smelling of sugary sweet cinnamon. Amazing!

On Saturday we made our usual trip to Seasons for a coffee followed by a walk with Eggs and relaxed afternoon watching the Olympics whilst enjoying our baked goods. On Sunday I awoke the most amazing present - a Chemex! I've got a Presso, Aeropress and Gaggia Classic and I've wanted to add a Chemex to that list for a while. Now I have! I think this should be the start of a tradition - A coffee themed gift for every Christmas and Birthday.

On Sunday afternoon we headed to my parents for a lovely meal of including champagne, fajitas and my mother's famous chocolate cheesecake. To top the afternoon off Andy Murray made Federer look a little silly to get us some gold and my Mum made some chocolate vanilla cupcakes

Did I also mention my parents got me two tickets for the Harry Potter studio tour? Yeah, a good birthday!
