Daddy's Birthday in Kyoto!

There is nothing better than waking up to a little girl so excited to get you out of bed to see the birthday cake she has decorated with Mummy...

... except for that morning to be a Monday morning off and for the cake to be breakfast!

Here is the cake-y masterpiece.  Hesty baked it, Anya decorated and Sam stuck his hand right in as we remembered (at the end of the first round of 'Happy Birthday'), that the candles were still in the drawer.

She wrote this all by herself as the World Cup final was on.

Today's trip was to Kyoto. We hopped on the train and went up to check out the shrines at Inari and have a wander about the city. By random chance we bumped into some of Hesty's gang of Indonesian ladies and then had dinner at the falafel place on the island.

"Sutiban wa san-ju-ichi saidesu" (Sutiban is 31 years old) From Google Translate.

 I have a lot to be thankful for.
