Alice in Wonderland 3D was a very good alternative to rain and was enhanced by a trip to Frankie & Bennys. P&I sat in the car at Bolam sheltered from the rain watching a host of birds coming down to feed on seed; sunshine drew us out to walk round the lake to view swans, moorhens, geese and ducks- all feverishly showing off to attract a mate. Wallington walking group has also left the utility full of clarty boots drying.

Don't the birthdays of our children cause us adults to feel the age too? balloons & special treatment at Avanti helped us all feel happy & have a lovely night. I wish I got as many greetings!
