Saturday 20th June: A nice sunny day. We had a lazy start to the day and a late breakfast then everyone poddled round doing their own thing. Then we found the waste pipe had blocked again so Steve had the unpleasant task of sorting that out.
At lunchtime we had a call inviting us to a surprise party at 2pm as an early celebration for Guy's 49th birthday. Guy is the farmer who took us out in his combine harvester earlier in the year, he flies model planes with Steve, and owns the field with their landing strip on. His wife Kathryn is a nurse at Steve's surgery. We picked up other friends on the way out to his farmhouse.
It was a very civilised party of tea and a cake with candles. Then there was the unveiling of his present - a new plane (he's crashed all the others, apparently!). The photos show him sandwiched between the heat of his lounge fire and the heat of his candles; and the delight when he uncovered his new plane.
Home for tea and stores before bed.
