Many happy returns birthday boy!

You do need good weather and a decent size garden to have an outdoor party in early March.

Today we were blessed with blue skies and sunshine and Dave’s neighbours were kind enough to let the birthday boy use their garden.

When we first moved here, there were regular events like this when people got together. These days, such occasions are few and far between. This was one not to be missed though – a seventieth birthday party for one of the most popular residents on the estate.

We had a great time, especially Dave who won’t forget being 70 in a hurry! Many thanks to all the people who brought this together.

PS Dave got a new computer for his birthday (lucky bugger) which may take a little while to set up. By the time he reads this, I imagine the cake will have all gone!
