Sunday, 1st May, marked my 21st birthday! I had the Thursday and Friday off work to relax and head back to my parents’ for the weekend.

The weather was great allowing us to have the first two barbequeues of the year! We enjoyed a family meal at the Portabello Italian Restaurant in Tamworth, near the Castle, for lunch on the Sunday. It was great to catch up with my Godparents and everyone had a good time.My main presents were an iPod mini and some money. I shall using someof this money to put towards a laptop for my final year at uni (only afew months until I start back).

All in all it was a good weekend and I’m feeling more relaxed and alittle more focussed now ready to finish the remaining months of myplacement!
