After my celebrations yesterday, tonight, it was our turn to act as a taxi service, picking up neighbours David & Valerie, and heading off to The Pheasant in Keyston (a 25-minute drive away, halfway between here and Huntingdon). It was David’s ‘special day’, and where I used to think it was a startling coincidence that we both had our birthdays so close together – as well as our homes – but maybe NOT!🤔. They say as you get older, you get wiser – and maybe that’s the case – but apparently, it’s not so startling a coincidence! It turns out that September 26th is THE most popular birth date in the West. And, as our cousins across the pond say: ‘Do the Math’. 😉
How did I miss that? It was probably the best birthday present my Dad ever had! And one that didn’t need any wrapping either! 😁

Quite apart from the very enjoyable company and the excellent food and service, it was good to see the place so busy. The Pheasant has had quite a few owners over the years, but it was boarded-up just before COVID hit and stayed that way sometime after. So, this was good news and felt more like it used to be when we first started coming here. 👍. The Pheasant had a real buzz about it tonight and as we left around 8pm, it was still filling up! 😁😁👏
Happy Birthday, David What a very pheasant pheast! 👍😋
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!
