Day 27

Andy's 60th birthday. Phones started pinging birthday wishes from 4am!

Opened cards (except mine! Don't know where it is!). Ally included a cheque in her card to pay parking fine - present nobody else can give. Very amusing. I got him WMM shirt and hat and hat for Tony too.

Andy went for run then we set off for Newburyport. Lovely seaside town with big shipbuilding history. Had a walk about then delicious corned beef hash for lunch.

Had boat trip for just the two of us with Cap'n Bob. Very good and interesting. Amazing houses on the Merrimack river.

Back to car 3.30 and home via wine shop to buy Sebastiani wine, beer and small outside table.

All sorted and back 5pm.

Had very strong beer watered down with lemonade then Davey & Susie arrived but left the lobsters behind so she had to no back for them!

Had nibbles then huge amount of lobster. Very, very messy! Lots of wine and chat, birthday cake and fizz.

Told them our news and they will try to come.

Bed 11ish. Quite a special birthday.Weiterlesen
