Thanks to all of you for the very kind birthday wishes. I spent a lovely day with my family and some friends, although the weather was cold and rainy!
I'd just like to show you the cake that my daughter made for me. It took her two days of work and secrecy and a bit of help from her dear friend next door but she did it! She was so proud to give it to me. Please not the little ant on the leaf, a little joke about how my friends abbreviate my name! Unfortunately I cannot offer you a slice, not even virtually, as it's gone completely !!!

Awww, how sweet your daughter is! :) She did a great job! Glad you had such a special day! Have a happy Monday!
What a clever (and thoughtful) girl.
beautiful cake, dtr did a nice job!
glad you had a lovely time.
huggies...
Sweet lovely little girl, your daughter. You're right to be proud of her!
So sorry I missed your Birthdy my friend but you know I have had to spend a lot of time lying down lately. I am so glad you had good time. Your daughter did a great job on the cake.
Very cute! I noticed the Ant right away, fun to hear that's how people shorten your name!
Happy belated birthday Antonella, the little ant is so special, it's nice to have your name shortened by your friends. My friends call me Liz but not all. I love the text in your last post about giovinezza. Dimentico il mio Italiano ma e una bellissima lingua. Thanks for leaving your email address, I wanted to send you a photo of Buddy but he's always on my blog so I guess it's not necessary anymore.
Have a great week, hugs
Seriously good decorating skills, happy birthday!
Sorry to miss your birthday - the cake is really cute! (or should I say, WAS really cute!).
I was born at 11.55pm, I just couldn't wait till the next day. This year though it is a significant birthday with an 0 on the end, so I shall be spending the whole day saying "I'm not really x0 yet!!!"
That is so sweet and the ant is so cute! Hope you had a lovely birthday and Mothers Day weekend!
What a wonderful way to show you her love for you. The cake looks delicious. I love her inclusion of an Ant! So very clever.
I hope you had a wonderful day, despite the rain!
Lots of love,
Mervat.
Beautiful cake from a beautiful daughter for a beautiful mom!!!!! Happy belated birthday, gorgeous.
xoxo
Happy Belated Birthday to you! May this year bring you and your family much health and happiness. That is one of the best looking cakes I have ever seen, you are one lucky mama!

Arrivo sempre tardi ma non senza tanto affetto nell'augurarti Buon Compleanno. La torta è commovente e la trovata inerente all'abbreviazione del nome geniale. Un bacio a tua figlia e un grosso abbraccio a te !!!!!!!!
Ciao Ant ;) just leaving a pawprint. I finally posted and also added a "virtual tour" of Ayr to my Photo Album. Will come back on Friday to see if you posted. Hugs!!!
Antonella, the cake is gorgeous!
I've tagged you on my blog. Btw, what do you think of the Paolo Coelho book? I like his stuff, but haven't read that one.
I`m so sorry I missed your birthday Antonella, many Happy Returns anyway! What a lovely cake your daughter made for you. How clever and thoughful of her. Kerry was thrilled with the presents and will be emailing you as soon as she gets back online. :o)
Love and Hugs

@Kia: Thanks very much. At my “old” age, every birthday is special!!!
@Jane: I wish she was as interested in school matters!!!
@Sugar: Thanks, dear, the cake was delicious and it made me cry of emotion. Hugs to you as well.
@Maria Grazia: I’m proud of her as any mother would be, but what I feel especially proud of is that she speaks Italian perfectly too. Ciao.
@Jeannette: Your wishes are always welcome, dear Jeannette. Hoep you’re feeling a bit better by now.
@Beth: My Italian friends called me ‘Anto’, but my English ones just “Ant”!
@Elizabeth: I like the name Liz very much, but Elizabeth sounds posher! My daughter is called Victoria but we call her Vicky and sometimes just Vic (although I don’t like it much). Magari puoi scrivermi in italiano così fai un po’ d’esercizio. Ricorda che una lingua non si scorda mai. Ciao.
@Littlemummy: Thanks, Erica. She’s definitely better than me at baking and decorating!
@Jackie: Thanks for the b-day wishes. Let me know when you will be turning into the -0 year [I bet it’s your 20th, isne’it?] and we’ll have a celebration online!!!
@Hilda: Thanks very much for your lovely wishes in my past post. You’re always so kind to me.
@Mervat: What can I say to you dear Mervat if not thanking so much again for the beautiful surprise that I received from you on Monday. Such a lovely thought and so many beautiful presents!!! You’re such a star!
@LaBelette: Ciao, bella! Thanks for the wishes and the compliment. The daughter is indeed beautiful but the mom a year older!
@Yummy Mummy: So lovely to bring me your wishes from that Paradise you are at the moment. Enjoy every minute of it and a bit for me as well. It’s pouring rain and cold in the UK at the moment! Sigh….
@Fabrizio: Grazie mille, caro Fabrizio. Lo sai bene come si dice, meglio tardi che mai! Un grande abbraccio anche a te,,,,
@Kia: Ciao again, carissima! Your new photos are really beautiful. I see that the new camera has been immediately put to good work!
@notSupermum: Thanks for the tagging, dear. I’ll complete the ‘task’ as soon as possible. I’ve just started the book. It’s Coelho’s new novel. Seems interesting. His books are usually very good, although my very favourite is an old one, “Veronica wants to day”. Ciao.
@Sandra: Thank you very much. Glad that Kerry liked the little “things”. Hope they’re the right size for Sophie. She seemed such a big baby to me!
Please tell Kerry to relax and look after her iron level. Mine has gone very down again and I don’t even have a new baby!!!!
Happy belated birthday. The cake looks great and I love the ant! Cute.
Happy Birthday. Hope you had loads of fun
Grazie per i 2 msg :) La maggior parte delle foto fatte con la DSRL per ora vengono sfocate. Dovremo imparare ad usarla :P ci vorrà un po'. Old age?? Ma stai scherzando?? Quanti anni hai, 80?? Ah, ti ho scritto una e-mail incasinatissima perché al momento sono moooolto nervosa :( Un abbraccio!
Belated Happy Birthday. What a great cake. I love the ant on the leaf. Did you get to eat the slice with that part?
