A good meal goes a long way



It's no good moping about your team's FA Cup defeat for too long - especially when there's a birthday to be celebrated.

In fact we had double cause for celebration - it was Liz's mum's birthday and she's just bought a house. Being a gentleman I'm not going to reveal how old my mother-in-law is - except to say that Paul McCartney wrote a rather famous song about being this age.

The Three Horseshoes at Madingley is a rather splendid gastro pub and we enjoyed an excellent meal. Dan behaved himself very well. We enjoyed the views of Madingley Hall, where King Edward VII stayed as a Cambridge University undergraduate. And Daniel got his grandmother some entertaining presents, including a pair of pink fluffy dice for her new car, plus a pink sign saying 'Princess on Board.'

And to make life even sweeter Everton were thrashed 4-1 by Blackburn.

Ah, Paul! What a lovely picture of grandma and Dan! Pink fluffy dice for her new car -eh?? A little man with good taste there! I bought my daughter the same for her birthday but with a pink sparkly tax disc to boot!

It's nice to know you've a gorgeous wee son to help with the footie disappointment! I'm the only female in the house and don't quite understand what it's all about! But I'm sure Daniel will make a great footie companion one day!!
