A Good Birthday

Birthdays vary a lot, but this year was a good one.

Anonymous Morris danced at a little beer festival at a local friendly pub.  A perfect venue for our new accordion player and our new dancer to have their first public performance (they've only been with us for three practice sessions, so it really was chucking them in at the deep end).  They both came up trumps, though Pam confessed to me that she was petrified.  (understandable when you've only just learnt the tunes)

We went to a ceilidh in the evening and had a great time.  Went to bed happy, and tired.

Today we went to a local garden centre and celebrated the fact that I'm now physically capable of doing weeding again by buying some new rockery plants as Richard's birthday present for me.

Aunty_Gillian got me a lovely silk scarf - I'm a sucker for hand-painted scarves.

Henry's going to take me to see a musical.  Should be fun.  We haven't yet decided which one.

I'm so glad it was a good birthday. I know you've often had angst about your birthday in the past.

You're right. If I go to London this year, I may take a look.
