Hotel Stay

First of all thank you for all your birthday wishes.  Each and every one of them was greatly appreciated.  The kids bought me/us an overnight stay at the Prince Of Wales Hotel in Niagara on the Lake.  It included, dinner, breakfast and afternoon tea.  I will talk more about that in another post.  

The kids booked a winter special but upgraded our room to a King sized room with balcony.  It was so spacious and very comfortable. Niagara on the Lake is a good two hour drive from where we live.  It was a super day, and the afternoon was lovely and warm.  We were surprised to see Daffodils and snowdrops in bloom.  The daffodils are barely through where we live.

When we walked into the room, on the desk was a complimentary bottle of wine as a birthday gift from the hotel.  We brought it home with us.
The bed was a king size and huge.  I found it comfy, hubby found it too soft.
There was a gas fireplace in the corner of the room.  We didn't use it though.
The bathroom was just your typical hotel bathroom.  The water pressure and temperature was good.  Loved the heated towel rail.
We had a full sofa and the double doors led out to the balcony.  There were no chairs to sit on though, as although it was a nice day, it wasn't nice enough to sit outside.
While we were at dinner the housekeeping staff come by to refresh the room and they left this rose.
One of the most impressive features of the hotel is this stained glass feature in the front reception foyer.  It is stunning.
This is looking towards the front entry way.  Again very impressive and there were bouquets of fresh red roses all around the main reception areas and in the dining room.

We have been before and we had a lovely time last time as well.  I was very spoiled.

I will post about what we ate tomorrow.

Seriously I'm 60????

Not sure where the time has gone to but here I am 60.  Don't feel 60, never thought I would be 60.  

We had a get together with the kids and grandkids last weekend.  They went all out with an Afternoon Tea type of spread and a lovely cake.


The cake was lovely. It was lemon and raspberry.  
I loved the flower detail.

Then on Thursday the Brampton crew came up and gave me this lovely cake.  This one was Lemon with fresh cream, and it was yummy.

I will do most posts about my birthday over the next few days.  Suffice to say I have been very spoiled.
