Samantha turns 30!!

On the eve of my birthday, Rob, Gem, Brendan and I went out for dinner at the Ramada. Champagne cocktails (yes, I finished a whole one!) followed by a scrumptious Indian banquet. Check out my birthday gift - pearl necklace and matching earrings. Thank you darling!

The next day after a lazy breakfast we headed out on our boat. Can I tell you, the wind & water were bloody freezing! Crazy Londoners decided to take a dip, and then not to be outdone, Brendan suggested waterskiing! That's me, all rugged up!

Boys doin' their thang...

The afternoon activities included a puff in our private Shisha lounge (it's apple tobacco, I promise!) and eating cake with my co-birthday girl Elsie (her sister Ruby is Isabelle's best friend, we're practically family).

The boys and their harem.

Brendan, you look like you're enjoying that!
Rob & Bren cooked up a spectacular spaghetti marinara while Gem & I watched Oprah's 20th Anniversary 6 DVD collection (just the first one...). We ended the night with a game of Monopoly (you're supposed to let the birthday girl WIN, not LOSE!!). A perfect day. Thank you!
