We had a bit of a lie-in in Mum’s guest suite at the flat.
Caught up with the newspapers and a few Mags and then it was off to Queenie’s Birthday Lunch – a short drive away at Brasted. The journey was made more difficult by major roadworks in the area forcing us to take a 10 mile diversion!
After a few phone calls to the hosts (Vicky and Derek) we found the place.
We were a bit overwhelmed – the event was held in the Hall opposite and Mum, Ann and I were put on the ‘top table’ as it seemed they wanted to celebrate Mum’s birthday too! They made her a cake and sang ‘Happy Birthday’ – fantastic! We recko there was around 60 people there..and a bouncy castle.
We left around 4.45 and got home around 7pm.

I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s!
My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community.
But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure!
On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there’s no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
