Thanks to all of you who sent us birthday wishes yesterday. We had a lovely day, although I’d guess that mine was better – considering Michelle had to go to work….

We had a great dinner with balloons, noisy blowy things, ginger cake and candles all washed down with a bottle of California red I won last year (I was aiming for 1st prize which was a trip to Napa Valley, but I won 2nd prize which was a bottle of red – although at £95 a bottle, we would never have bought it ourselves, and it was very very good!)

Another year to look forward to now!
