Claridges

Hi, Baukjen here. Yesterday was my birthday and I had a fantastic day. It started by being awoken by my family singing happy birthday followed by a sumptious breakfast. I was spoilt with gifts including delicious things for the bath from Molton Brown from the kids, a beautiful joshua joseph scarf from geoff, a tree (for our new garden) from my mother and step father, a fabulous kate spade gold ipod case from vanessa, a lovely neckace in my colours from the isabella oliver girls.

In the afternoon I went to the Isabella Oliver office where Vanessa had bought a huge very rich chocolate cake that we ate with all the girls (see below). In the evening Geoff and I went to 43 South Molton Street where we were supposed to have dinner except their restaurant wasnt finished! So instead we had a cocktail (my first drink since being pregnant!) and called Quintessentially who quickly arranged a table at Gordon Ramsey at Claridges around the corner. Dinner was fabulous, the service impeccable and being out with Geoff was great. However my body isnt used to alcohol anymore so i was wide awake at 5 am this morning! It was a fabulous day. Baukjen
