Mal’s 70th!! I am now married to an old man! He opened all his presents and cards, I cooked him breakfast and then we went over to Sandwich as he said he wanted to do some work on the house! A lot of our ‘Celebrations’ seem to be moved from one date to another. I guess as far as his birthday is concerned it just means it is longer!

Midday Lou and Rhys arrived to bring a birthday cake for Mal. That was so considerate as we have had little time. So Mal really appreciated that.

They stayed for tea and cake and then we carried on a bit more cleaning and also fitted a new post box by the front door. The old one is rusted and quite honestly anyone could have put their hand in and take out all the post!  Rhys also went into the loft to see exactly how much was boarded. Well, that was a bit of surprise, a whole bank of plugs up there and other “stuff”. We had wondered why there were stains on the ceiling and had just thought the water tank must have leaked at some stage!! 

We stopped at Wickes and Range on the way home, more paint and “things”.

We drove back into Sandwich in the evening where we were going to meet two of Mal’s sons. They did arrive eventually (not the best at organising themselves!) So Mal and I had  a Caribbean meal in The Crispin, then the boys and Jemma arrived. We then went on the the  Admiral Owen, and ended the night in the Mermaids Locker. 

I think the Mermaids Locker  (in spite of the fact I saw a mouse run across the floor!) was our favourite although we still have another EIGHT pubs to try in Sandwich, all within walking distance.


Tris stayed with us the night.
