Ah yes, but it's not.
It did have a hat and balloons on the 6th of May when it actually was my birthday... so GG knows when my birthday is. I can't work out why there's a hat and balloons today, unless GG thinks i'm a bit like the queen and have two birthdays

The responses I'm getting this time suggest that perhaps you're waiting for a clue. The hills are your hint here, and they've been mentioned often enough in this thread.
Here's another picture of the same road on the other side of the summit that we've our backs to in both views:

I was thinking those distant Hills might be the Malverns but after having had a scoot around the surrounding hills trying to find a similar silhouette and vantage point, I decided to build a PC instead.

I think it looks more like Yorkshire but I haven't got time to look today (Wednesday) and maybe not tomorrow either. If it is still unidentified when I get back from Devon I will see what ideas I have then.

I've got a Borders/Cumbria vibe going on - but I haven't got one yet so probably wrong

Here is a wider view a little further up from the first one, now including something quite singular:

Hmmm. I believe @ColinJ is back and it's still not solved, so it may be harder than I thought.
So to recap, the first view contains two distinct groups of hills, both of which are mentioned here quite often. They are household names.
The view heading down the other side has less to identify it but was added to emphasise what a beautiful route this is.
Widening from the first image adds something singular to the view - not the sheep!
Once you've identified the major hills in the distance, the much closer, smaller hill should help to pin down the location. That ridge also has some fine roads crossing it.
This is the truth.
