Today my very good friend Lesley has a 'special birthday'!!! I won't tell you how old she is, because - well because!!
I wondered for months what to get her, and one day came up with the idea of adopting her an animal from
Australia Zoo in Brisbane!! As the zoo was the home of the late Steve Irwin 'The Crocodile Hunter' and Lesley is mad on him and
anything that he did!! I decided on a Koala called Luca from there as she also loves them! The process was really easy, and today I gave her the adoption certificate!!
Here is a picture of her Koala, he made me laugh!
I also bought a few other things normal for 'special days', a tower of Belgian chocolates, a bouquet of flowers and some 'bubbly'!!
There was one other thing that I thought she would love - a cake!! So after checking with the rest of the family, I set to and made a large fruit cake, put marzipan on it and flat iced it. Firstborn angel offered to help with the decoration, which pleased me a lot. We decided to make the cake a teapot theme as Lesley loves her tea. When I got in from work, look what I found!!!!!



Isn't it beautiful!! I have a very talented little angel!!!!
I can say the Lesley was overwhelmed when she saw it!! So we were all happy!!!
Happy Birthday Lesley!!!
Kindest wishes and love
