Well, thank you all. We had really lovely, relaxed meal at The Kittiwake with friends and family which I really enjoyed. Difficulties lie in celebrating birthdays midweek due to the ugly spectre of work the next day, so it was a low key affair; in answer to Howard's question, I was 49 this birthday, so the big one is next year! We shall probably hold a forum drinks bash at The White Horse for that one, and we're planning on being a little self indulgent by taking in a trip to the Dutch/German border where my father was stationed during my early formative years. Looking forward to that particular journey down memory lane.
Thanks again.
