My 69th Birthday!! That certainly does not seem possible. Lou had her friend Nia staying with her, so they all came over for Sandwich Food Fayre, always a good day. Lots of tastings too so the kids love it!

We then went to The Crispin Inn for a drink  but still they had no Bombay Sapphire and so we left!! We went to the Mermaids Locker and they didn’t either! Well, it was my birthday and I wanted what I wanted! A good thing there are 11 pubs in Sandwich!! Next stop was the Red Cow, yes, they had it and good real ale and a nice garden to sit in!

After all this, we all went back home and Mal made us an afternoon tea, with clotted cream, the lot! He did really well, even the smoked salmon finger sandwiches. Sadly Rhys was working but we sent him cakes home!

Amongst my presents, Mal bought me an “experience” at Howletts, which you can probably guess will be with Arina. Lou and Rhys bought me a very substantial voucher for a posh fish restaurant in Walmer.

I had a lovely day .
