MY SURPRISE 30th BIRTHDAY PARTY

On the night of my 30th Birthday, Tom told met to get dressed up in my traditional Bavarian clothes as he was going to take me out to dinner. I was a little confused about where we would be going dress like this but we drove into the town of Traunstein to a traditional restaurant The Hofbräu Haus.
When I walked around the corner there was a big surprise party waiting for me.
Wow! It was so amazing, every one had gone to so much trouble.
There were people dressed as Kangaroos, Emus, Crocodiles a Koala and the Sydney Opera House.
Toms Clever sisters had made the costumes and the Kids had helped by making road signs.
There was Australian songs playing and some funny Bavarian songs.
It was so amazing and so overwhelming, I was in tears, such fantastic people, who I am so luck to know.

ON MY BIRTHDAY

On my Birthday Tom got up early to buy me a lovely bunch of flowers and set up breakfast, a lovely surprise and then he surprised me with a watch. Such a lucky girl.

After breakfast we took a walk through Salzburg in Austria, every thing was covered in snow.
Tom had a surprise for me in the afternoon. He took me into the forest to a lost dogs home, as he knew how much I missed Fred and having a dog around.
The lost dogs home is open to the public a few hours a day to walk the dogs. It is such a great idea and we were surprised to find out how popular it is.
When we arrived there were no dogs left, they were all out walking. So we waited a while and then we got a funny little dog to walk called Mogli. He had a long body and short legs and loved to roll around in the snow.
It was such a lovely surprise from Tom and I will definitely go back and walk the dogs again, but maybe when the weather heats up a little.
