Dad’s birthday next Wednesday – 87 and still going strong! Since it is a midweek birthday, the family met to celebrate last night, enjoying a meal at the Elms pub in Lutterworth, as has become traditional for Dad’s family events.
Afterwards most of us went to Dad’s for tea or coffee and birthday cake – despite a large pub meal including a substantial pudding, we all managed a slice of birthday cake, cooked by my sister Pauline, and decorated with an impressive firework-candle, which set the smoke alarm off
Most of the family were able to come along – Matthew coming over from Rushden, Simon and Kate from Wigston, and my sister Pauline and her family from Kettering.
Technically we live in Oaktree House, but sadly the tree had to go.
We now have a thriving Oakstump at the front of the house.
