Thanks ever so much for all the wonderful support and comments on mine and Archie's little run the other weekend.
When this running lark started I had in the back of my mind that I definitely wanted to be in better shape by the time I was 40.
Well the weekend before last, just after Bonfire Night, I hit that landmark feeling so much better about all sorts things in life.
I hadn't ever thought I'd have a party but once we thought about it, it seemed just the best thing to do. So we gathered together the loveliest bunch of family and friends at the Foxlowe Arts Centre in town, turned on the fairy lights, ate hearty food and let off fireworks and danced into the night.
What a fantastic time. I laughed and
and talked so much I went hoarse and only took a few quick snaps on my phone. It was so lovely to have everyone there who helped us to have such fun. I feel really lucky to be here, at 40, with a fantastic family and smashing friends. Life is very good so here's to the next decade! Xx

Happy birthday Steph! As a woman firmly in my forties, I can say on good authority that it isn't a bad place to be. There are so many good things about it, not least the fact that I never have to wonder whether those hot pants in Top Shop would suit me. I have invested in a good quality moisturiser though ;)))))
