Birthday boy has been treated all day
I now have mucho pennies in the " good partner" bank
We visited Bodnant Gardens and walked amid the bluebells
And Azaleas
Afternoon tea at Bodysgallen Hall
Was lovely
I enjoyed myself pretending I was Dr Burton,
( I booked it in chris' name)
No Scotch eggs?!

Beautiful from beginning to end. And no Scotch eggs on the tea tray. You are a wonder. Another happy birthday to Chris.
ReplyDeleteJust sandwiches the size of postage stamps
DeleteLovely but oh for a scotch egg!
Do post people eat very small scotch eggs?
Answers on a postcard please x
Quail scotch eggs..quaffed with champagne.

Chris is a bit of a looker if you ask me ….. he's definitely a keeper. I have a Chris as you have a Chris ….. mine's a keeper too. Hope that you both had a wonderful day. XXXX
ReplyDeleteYou scrubbed up pretty well too John…. your both very good looking guys ……. you obviously made the ultimate sacrifice and put on your best bib and tucker John !! XXXX
DeleteThanks chuck

DeleteI suspect that you have pounds (euros?) in the good partner bank.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous gardens - and the afternoon tea looks pretty good too.
Sounds like my kind of birthday. Wishing Chris all the best. Deb
ReplyDeleteThank you deb
DeleteWhat a nice day for Chris. I think his best gift is you. Chris reminds me of Peter Gabriel :)
ReplyDeleteBest gift me?
DeleteGaffffawwwww
What a lovely day! That would have been my perfect Birthday - no team work or sports involved!!! x
ReplyDeleteA perfect day.
ReplyDeleteIt looks very quiet. Would this be like a birthday treat doing something you don't usually do as a contrast to other interests?
ReplyDeleteChris' birthday
DeleteChris' wishes

I can see you made every effort to ensure your handsome professor had a memorable Birthday celebration - the last Birthday Chris will celebrate as a bachelor I might add. You are a very sweet & romantic minded man John Grey, to plan such a lovely day filled with all the things Chris enjoys so much.
ReplyDeleteMany happy returns dear Chris! What a lovely day, the colors are amazing....hugs to you both.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Chris, and congratulations on landing such a top-notch partner. I've always found the notion of a true English-style tea a bit intimidating, but I think I'd quite enjoy it in your company!

ReplyDeleteWhy do you only frequent our neck of the woods when we vacate it?
ReplyDeleteI was a way all weekend In Berkshire while you were jollying around Bodnant again. It looks like you had a lovely (and very refined time) anyway.
You do both scrub up very well :-)
There's posh!
