Happy Birthday Sarah!

My dear friend Sarah celebrated the big 4-oh on Thursday. A group of us went for afternoon tea at one of the local posh hotels (I never realised quite how many of them there are…).

And on Saturday Martin and I cooked her a slap-up meal here…Emily eating clams was a classic – she put the entire clam into her mouth, sucked the clam off and elegantly spat out the shell. Amazing!

Matthew brought the cake – in the shape of a green house (she was given a real one of those by her husband). Couldn’t quite fit everything into the photo…

And here’s little Emily trying on a wet suit (among other things in three bags of hand-me-downs she had just received). She looked like a mini-Miss-Marple in the brown tweed outfit on the right!

Here are some more pics from the last couple of weeks. Luke and I going for a muddy walk last weekend…

And a walk around Yew Tree Tarn on Sunday…

We got out the old fondue set recently for the first time in a long time…very nice, takes me back to the 70s!

And here’s the Main Man, digging up our allotment. Which concludes this post.
