Happy Birthday Ben

Ben is 22 today.  He spent last year's birthday in Thailand, having travelled from Hong Kong where he was studying.  Today he is in Leeds, there is a pandemic on and the pubs shut at 10.00.  What a difference a year makes...

I'll be having a drink for him though as I'm seeing Kate and Sandra.  We haven't got together for 3 months and although it is Ben's birthday we'll mostly be toasting the arrival of baby Alfie and the fact that Sandra is now a grandma!

How exciting!
