Well, I think that’s a first (not sure why though!) – the Gambles family reunited here for Ann’s Birthday!!
Denis, Roger, Jane, Oliver and Bev batting for the Gambles, whilst Lee and I were in the other corner!
A little like that odd tradition where the person whose birthday it is, provides cakes, Ann provided – and cooked – the menu!
Moroccan Lamb…
…or Cottage Pie (a healthier variant with a Sweet Potato topping)…
…followed by Low Fat/Low Sugar Black Forest Cherry Trifle…
…or Apple & Pear Strudel… (sorry, no photograph, as I was too busy tucking into the Trifle (carefully avoiding the ‘Lent-threatening’ chocolate)…
We finished it all off with a Cheese Board.
There’s was plenty of time for a good chat with everyone including a thorough look through Oliver’s increasingly impressive school-work (Engineering, Physics, Biology and Maths). Denis also continued his mass de-cluttering exercise by bringing with him a wide selection of this-and-that from his Garage.
By 4ish, it was all over, so we said our goodbyes and cleared up.
After taking Lee home, and returning, Trish dropped-by with Ann’s pressy, closely followed by Rosi. Phew!It’s been a busy day – but ‘good’ busy!!
Happy Birthday Ann!
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 are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
