A quiet afternoon spent noshing in good company, the absolute best way to spend a birthday! Plenty of good wished, always very welcome, and happily acknowledged, happy thoughts brighten the dullest of occasions.

First meal out since Covid struck, yes almost a whole year, Fish, and chips at the Lower, always a treat, with a nice refreshing root beer to wash the delicious cod down.
