Today was Dads 70th birthday. Gordon and I went down to see him before work to see him open present, cards and to give wishes etc. We had to wait a while for the birthday boy to descend but it was worth it…

We know it will be a wonderful year full of lots of exciting experiences and events – we look forward to spending it with you.
Happy Birthday Dad!
Apparently this is the wooden anniversary – but as we have lots of wood already – see ‘Neighbours’ – we decided to celebrate mostly by eating!
We went to Cornwall where we ate Friday lunch at Restauraunt Nathan Outlaw and quite honestly wanted to spend the day discussing what an amazing meal it had been. Highly recommended – and although I am not entirely an expert in this area from what I can see well worth the rising 2 star Michelin rating!
Onto Boscastle where we stayed at a fabulous B and B – The Old Parsonage - where we were well cared for. A lovely walk across the Stitches into the village in the evening.
Following morning we were again well fed at The Old Parsonage and onto Padstow where Rick Stein has his empire.
More food – this time at St Petroc’s Bistro. It was great – informal, large quantities, well cooked – but even I was beginning to think I may have overdone it a bit as was probably not as appreciative as I would have been had I not had Nathan and Margaret and Morag already having cooked us fabulous food.
Great weekend and a lovely anniversary treat – but its good to come home for a rest!
Did you know it flowered?
If yours does cut it off immediately – apparently it stops the plant wanting to grow and therfore the end of your source of a delicious crumble!
