Birthday bash

A couple of weeks ago we went up north to have a family dinner. There are a few milestone birthdays in Mummy's family this year - a 40th, a 50th and an 80th so we got together to have lunch. It's unusual to get all of Mummy's family together at the same time so it was really fun. You can't beat being the centre of attention for 4 women! So Daddy says anyway.

While we waited to be seated, Uncle Ian and I had a wee game of chess. I think he found it pretty challenging but I let him win in the end.


Lunch was excellent, even with the inevitable ordering debacle, but the food and company were superb. A good time was had by all.

On the way home we stopped in at Auntie Carol and Uncle Dave's house again. We spent a while in the garden and I helped Uncle Dave dig up some of his new potatoes which we had with mince when we got home (very good too, thanks Uncle Dave!). Daddy also snapped a photo of Mummy stealing more raspberries while she thought no one was looking!


Unfortunately it was just a day trip so we had to head home again pretty quickly. We're all already looking forward to the next trip north.
