Legal Lager

Yep you guessed it, after yesterdays blip this was predictable - today we went to the pub.

Grandparents came over and we had a pub lunch in a little village called Willian on the outskirts of Letchworth.

This was a very amusing moment for us, because we remember well the feeling of becoming a grown up. His next challenge is to buy his parents a drink with his own money! Do we have to wait until he is 21 for that?

It was a fun lunch where we talked about his memories - the eighteen things he remembered most about the last 18 years. We all remembered the same stuff, the holidays, the sport, the schools, the mates. It was charming how his focus was slightly different. The great thing was that we could all add bits to the picture and jog each others memory.

Home for coffee and cake when the birthday boy opened lots of lovely presents. So a good time was had by all.

As of midnight tonight we can start talking about Christmas - which has been banned from conversation until then.
