I'm well on my way to eating 21 Cakes for my 21st birthday..
The photos illustrate the beautiful first almost-week I've spent in sunny Melbourne. Hayden and I rushed down to the beach (2 minutes walk from home) hours after my arrival - it was nearly 30 degrees and my pasty white skin cracked the camera, but the photo of Hayden came out fine. We looked like such (British) tourists.
That night was Omi's 21st - the "family reunited" posed for a photo outside at her cocktail celebration.
The next morning I opened my presents at a lazy outside breakfast (I love this place!) chez Stainsby. I thought my parents had abandoned me, but it turns out they were busy organising a SURPRISE PARTY for me that afternoon. I was completely fooled and speechless when I arrived! It was a fantastic gathering and the chocolate cake was enormous. I couldn't have asked for more!

Last night we went and saw the St Leonards Old Collegians play at school. I can't believe it's been 5 years since I went to St Leos! It was strange going back and I felt very old. The photo is with Megan and Stef who also came to the opening night. I'm seeing the rest of the girls tonight, and we're going away together this weekend - more photos to follow!!

Over and out.
