I didn't really do anything for my birthday this year, and now I'm sort of regretting it a bit. I'm sure everyone except new recruits knows the Lydia birthday drill - dress up in your vintage or black tie finest, pack a hamper and join me in Regent's Park for music, champagne and conviviality. And although it's a bit of hassle to organise I do love seeing my pals all dressed up and getting to dust off my lovely clothes and do something a bit different. But do YOU? This is the first year I've not held a formal picnic since the first one in 2005, and summer is swiftly slipping between my fingers. SO! I feel it's time enough for a poll.
