10 on 10 Photography Circle - May

April saw somebody here having a birthday....eeek it was me!!

Usually I prefer a no fuss birthday at home but my mother in law had sent me a little bit of spending money which I decided to put towards a lovely meal out....something that NEVER happens around here with 5 children because of the cost....and well because taking children out can sometimes be less than pleasant !!

Hugely excited we headed off to what has to be one of my favourite restaurants of all time....because a)  it used to be a church from about the 1860's....just take a look at it, it's gorgeous!!

and b)  because it is so quirky....everything that you see here on the walls or hanging from the ceiling is for sale...YES!! FOR SALE!!  You can sit down and eat and look at all the things that you want to buy at the same time.....win/win!!

Okay I'll admit that I want to buy almost everything .....but this is one piece that I would have loved to have taken this one home with me...  I love it!  p.s. the photo does not do it justice because I get a tad shy taking photos in crowded public places so I just zoomed in from where I was sitting!!

The meal was totally amazing....and I am not just saying that because I didn't have to make it myself, though that was a plus!

And this had me wishing that I had ordered from the kids menu....I can't resist ice cream with chocolate topping!

But miss 6 didn't need any help polishing that off...

Seeing it was my birthday I will grace you with one photo of me...clearly not taken by me....but hey!

Well and truly full we headed home to don pj's and slippers and to watch the all new series of Midsomer Murders.....boy I'm getting old!!

Once again all of my photos were taken on my iphone and using the Sony Smart Lens....I love this lens so much, especially when I want to take sneaky photos in a restaurant!!
