Woodlands World: Birthday Meal Pics!

Today is the day when I get another year older!!! But as I am only 26, and have been 26, since I was 26, it doesn't really count!!! Anyway Kathryn and Lee travelled down from Worcester by train yesterday, bearing in mind they had only had 3 hours sleep as they had been out celebrating Lee's birthday on Friday night. I think they were suffering a little bit!
We had a lovely afternoon catching up and chatting then we went out for a lovely chinese meal at a favourite restaurant of ours in Swindon. Here are a couple of pics!

My daft but wonderful husband!!

Kathryn and Lee.

Me and Tori!

See you all later!!!

Warning

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other people's gardens
And learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.
