Oct 8 - Birthday Celebrations

Back in Blighty to a fanfare celebration for my birthday. After receiving fabulous gifts purchased in a local supermarket (as I sat outside) on our drive back from the ferry terminal (!) we headed up to North London to visit Lords, the home of English cricket and the Ashes.

A fabulously sunny autumn day that felt quintessentially English.

The whole day was rounded off by beer in a local pub and the quintessentially English meal - a curry. What a perfect day!
