40th Birthday...

16th July - Friday was my 40th birthday. My only request was to go running in the morning along the Bow River with Chris and Jinx. Luckily the sun was shinning and I had a great run - absolute heaven. As for the rest of the day not much happened!!!!! On the contary - Chris had arranged all sorts. After opening presents and cards - which I did really well with and got totally spoilt we then set off to collect Tonia and Les from Banff (after their romantic night away) and headed for Hotel Fairmont at Lake Louise. This is a luxury hotel which sits on Lake Louise providing spectacular scenary. Chris had arranged for us to all have afternoon tea which takes place in a lovely lounge overlooking the views.


Whilst having tea my present from Chris arrived - a Tiffany & Co necklace - fantastic, a very happy girl. We spent the rest of the afternoon wondering around the lake and taking in the mountains and beautiful scenary before heading back to Canmore for supper and more champagne.

Chris also had made by the chefs at Fairmount Hotel a birthday cake - it was a fabulous chocolate cheesecake which had very ornate decorations on top and very tasty. However after eating all the afternoon tea we decided to take it home with us for later.
