Thank you all for the birthday wishes last week ... the truth is that my birthday was a little bit rubbish as I had to go into hospital for a Glucose Tolerance Test as there is a history of diabetes in my family and I am a 'little' overweight. The GTT meant that I had to fast the night before (and for those of you who know me, going without food for any period of time is a NIGHTMARE!). Anyway - I woke up on my birthday morning to lovely pressies from Mr Plum, my family and friends ... but then we had to go to the hospital for the morning ... and a girls only antenatal class in the evening (there are some things that I would rather just not know for the time being!! ) .... we decided to postpone my birthday for a week!On Friday, Mr Plum and I celebrated four years of married bliss! I can't believe that it has been four years! It has flown by ... we both went to work for the day, but I was under strict instructions not to wear my lovely Joules Shelley sundress (which is perfect for an expanding tum!) but to wear my smarter Mamas and Papas spotty tea dress ... and proper shoes as Mr Plum wanted me to meet him at Victoria Station at 4.30 for a surprise!!
The biggest surprise was Mr Plum paying for a taxi to our destination!! I was expecting to catch a bus! Anyway, I was still in the dark as to where we were heading ... especially as we headed past all the possible places I could think of! Where were we going?
As we drove up Regent Street I was completely flummoxed ... and then we came to The Langham hotel ... I have never been here before!
We were sat in the most wonderful art deco room - a bit like Claridges Foyer, but lighter and brighter and a bit more relaxed. We ordered the Wonderland Tea ... the hotel provided Veggie and Pregnant Lady friendly sandwiches, warm scones and divine cakes ... it was heavenly! Afternoon Tea has to be my favourite meal of the day .... and I think that I am going to be having lots of trips out for Afternoon Tea between now and the arrival of Baby Plum!
I am so lucky to be married to wonderful Mr Plum :)
Here is an afternoon tea we had a couple of weeks ago with the left over cakes (or some of them!) from my birthday party ... mmmmm

I hope that the test was OK? I'm glad that you had such a lovely time. Afternoon tea is just the best.xx
Oh that sounds so sweet! What a lovely man you have there. Your spotty dress sounds adorable! I'm glad you found some happiness on your special day. Good luck for the test result, I'll cross my fingers for you. xx
What a fantastic treat,

What a lovely surprise from Mr Plumb. I know what you mean about those classes, I never went to them for middle and baby sweetpea as I think they just made me more worried - I went with the flow instead and it was fine.
Oh that's lovely that you had a nice birthday tea. And what a kind Mr Plum you have.
Two questions, if I may?
1. When is your due date?
2. Where, oh where did you get the Union J ack mugs from?! I love them!
Hope all is well? Hugs xx
Well done Mr Plum for such a lovely surprise! x
