I am joining with Amy from Love Made My Home for her Five On Friday again this week.
This is five things that have made me happy this week – I have not got out and about very much!
One
This is the view that I get to admire from my desk, every day. Now I appreciate that it might not be everyone’s cup of tea but I consider Liverpool to be my home city and, after being away for more than four years, it warms my heart every time I look up to see the beautiful Liver Building!
Two
I think you all know by now that we love a birthday here on The Glade, we had another last weekend and I made these cupcakes for a very special little lady that we are having the pleasure of watching grow up! Miss NT is such a little character, we love her! The frosting was like chocolate moose, I think they went down well.
Three
I hope I am not speaking too soon here but I was concerned about this little chap, our Jack! I was afraid that now I am working office hours again he might rebel. So far so good, I don’t want to say anymore in case I jinx it, but he has been a star!!
Four
I wrote a post about my garden this week and this Hydrangea did get a mention. But I love this picture that I have taken since. It is the most beautiful vibrant red/pink sort of colour, I absolutely love it. I say this about nearly all flowers, but I think this might be my favorite garden flowers. However, if the Honeysuckle flowers, I am sure I will say the same about that – I’m clearly very fickle when it comes to flowers ha!
Five
I took this picture in Wales a couple of weeks ago and it has not much to do with number five except, I am hoping to get out and about with Miss Glade to do some more Geo Caching this weekend. We went last weekend and absolutely loved it. She has had a stressful week doing exams and so, last night she got the bus from school to the big city to meet me after work for a lovely dinner. We had a great time!
That is my five happy things this week!
I am very late at joining You Baby Me Mummy and Mums’ Days for #TheList
It is also my #HappyDays post with What Katy Said and Tiny Foot Steps.
Have a lovely day!
Into The Glade! 
A great five, my mouth was watering when I looked at those cakes, the frosting looked delightful. Have a great meal later and a wonderful weekend.

I think that is a wonderful view from your office!!!! Definitely one to enjoy! How good that Jack is fine with the new routine, he is obviously a good doggie! Your hydrangea is beautiful isn’t it, what a stunning shade of pink!!!!! I know that people rave about blue hydrangeas and I like them a lot, but gosh, deep dark pink ones are stunning I think and yours is just perfect!!! I hope that you have a great weekend geocaching! Thank you so much as always for joining in, you are a wonderful, kind and generous blogger! xx
