Happy Birthday Bertie!

Rob is 34 today. We first got together on March 27th 1991, just before his 19th birthday. Bit of a headf**** that one - such a long time together!

We both had to work this morning but spent the afternoon in Dulwich Park - we hired a bike with Rob's birthday money - a double seated bike - not a tandem - you sit next to eachother on proper seats and pedal with your legs in front of you. We had a trailer on the back for the wee man.

I made a big birthday "spread" for the boys when we got home - Rob reminisces about Sundays at his Gran's - she used to do a big tea every week and so I recreated it. We had tinned salmon sandwiches, sausage rolls, scotch eggs, corned beef sandwiches, crisps, pickles and quiche. For afters was Rob's favourite - blancmange (blech), trifle and birthday cake. Needless to say both of them stuffed themselves and Oscar seems to have inherited Rob's second stomach - for puddings only.

Nice day.
