'I love you all so much!' Negligée clad Victoria Beckham tweets baby pictures from exotic location as she celebrates her 40th birthday

As all who’s celebrated one knows, a fortieth birthday is always a milestone – but as Victoria Beckham bids farewell to her thirties by posting a racy shot from an exotic holiday locaton, she’s also been moved to reflect on her childhood.
The fashion designer celebrated her birthday on Thursday, but while she spent some of her day thanking fans for their celebratory messages on Twitter, she also used her considerable social networking presence to post a new shot in which she sports a negligée while basking in the sun.
Victoria, who owns a property in Southern California with husband David and their four children, stands in front of a desert terrain peppered with brush, while distant mountains provide a dramatic backdrop.

A source told E! News: 'Victoria is spending her birthday today quietly with her family. They have travelled out of state to somewhere quiet and relaxing and are enjoying a spa
vacation.'
But while the snap remains rooted in the present, Victoria has also been sharing some intimate shots from the past.

Victoria, who grew up in leafy Hertfordshire village Goffs Oak, has shared a series of personal snaps with her 7.44 million followers – amongst them a grainy image of herself as baby, appearing to have a snooze while lying on a white blanket.

A second shot sees infant Victoria perched on father Anthony’s shoulders during a trip to the zoo – and the electrician appears to look rather smart in shades and a wide collared shirt, de rigueur in the mid-seventies.

After being inundated with messages from her fans, the fashion designer posted another animated video of Snoopy doing a cheerful dance.
