Prime Time

Thank you Côte Brasserie for a fabulous birthday lunch 

  1. Bob had crab paté, I had a Kir Rosé alco-free cocktail 
  2. Main course - he had steak frites, I had moules et frites
  3. Dessert - pistachio brulé for him, cafe gourmand for me.
We strolled back to the car park, and came home very full, and very happy . Thank you all for such kind words yesterday, I had some lovely gifts and cards

Yes that is a Christmas card. My old schoolfriend remains in hospital [since November] but she found an unused Christmas card in her locker so wrote me a birthday greeting inside. The Manchester boys made a card with" all the things Grandma likes" on it.
Jesus the King, the Bible, Palm Sunday, family, tea, flowers...I think it is excellent! 
So very grateful to be surrounded by love right now.

  14. I commented on the lovely photo of you both when I saw it on Facebook but I don’t think it will have got through. You look like a schoolgirl, how can you be 71? Nicky K
