Movita - A Life In Review


Movita is forty today. Now, I don't usually indicate, except for the little ones, how old someone is on their birthday but Movita has been holding a Bake My Cake contest on her mostly-food blog (http://movitabeaucoup.com/ ) to mark her fortieth year, so there is little point in being discreet about it here!!


Movita was interested in cooking and baking at an early age. She was "hands in" from the very beginning.


Is it any wonder that she is holding food contests now and planning to attend baking school in the fall?


She was always particularly interested in cakes.


And, look, she took care of the washing up herself!


                                              
She was collecting blog design ideas long before Al Gore created the Internet


She was rarely a gardener in those days...


But always a dancer


For a very brief time, a skater...


Sometimes an explorer


An enthusiastic worker


A part time clown




An animal lover


A loving sister


A fun companion


And always an angel


Happy Birthday, Movita Beaucoup
You are my very dear first born baby. Regardless of how many others appear in the generations to come, I will always have loved you the longest.

Oh, Mummy. Great minds think alike. But they may have very different objectives...
