I love having my brithday on the winter Solstice, even if it means having no presents for a whole year until the next winter. Having done the deed nineteen times now, I find myself critiquing the day constantly as it goes on comparing it to previous years and worrying that the rest of it wont be any good. I hope next year I can go somewhere for a one day holiday, maybe with family, to some secluded but scenic location, possibly Lapland (to see the Northern Lights) and have a birthday that is truly unforgettable and wont allow me for even a second to allow nostalgia to set in and waste my precious time dwelling on things passed. Having said all this, today was a top day. It rained in true English style, but the snow was still there and it was just an excuse to spend some good time with the family. In the evening we headed to Brighton and went to 'Jamies Italian' restaurant in the South Lanes. Just like last time, the whole experience was exceptional, with delicious food and a great atmosphere. Moving on to more important things, at dinner I was presented with my Birthday present. A Nikon D5000 Digital SLR. Its time to up the standards of this blog people and photos to come will be a visual feast. Look out for some serious long exposure experiments as it has an 'unlimited' mode. I think thats enough chat today and I hope the photos speak for themselves.
