My family birthday walk last weekend – been a bit too busy to post earlier this week. As has become traditional, I invited local family, this year including Kate’s parents Judy and Melv, for a walk and pub lunch. This year, as last, combining these so that we all walked across the fields behind our house to Thurlaston, where we enjoyed a pub lunch at the Elephant and Castle.
After walking back it was time for tea and birthday cake, and a board game of the sort that involves a lot of competitive shouting.
I know that my actual birthday isn’t until Monday 28th, but, since it falls on the Easter weekend, assumed that folk would be away – erroneously as it turned out, thanks to the School term not finishing until Maunday Thursday.
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.
