Sometimes when we’re not looking, Monty takes his flying cot to India to ride on an elephant or a deer. Occasionally he and Milla fly to the arctic to slide with the penguins. Luckily for us he always flies home when he’s done. This week he took some time off from his adventuring to celebrate. There was a lot of excitement from Milla in the days leading up to his birthday, gifts were chosen, portraits were drawn and love letters ‘written’. Mr Kat and I had a couple of late nights stitching a little something for him to enjoy with his sister.

There were gifts, cards and cake. There was a trip to the beach and a to visit the turtles.

He even blew out his own candle. I wonder what he wished for?

That’s not the point though. I was getting ready to take her out for the day and I noticed something a little disturbing. Glinting in the light as I brushed my hair: a grey hair.  My first. Yikes. I’m not entirely sure how I feel about this discovery but I know it is significant. I recently turned 29 (read about my great birthday here) and so the countdown to thirty has begun. I think when it all comes down to it I’m not too fussed. Honest.
