Bodnant & Bodysgallen

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)

  4. I suspect that you have pounds (euros?) in the good partner bank.
    Gorgeous gardens - and the afternoon tea looks pretty good too.

  8. It looks very quiet. Would this be like a birthday treat doing something you don't usually do as a contrast to other interests?

  9. 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.

  11. Happy 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!

  28. Why do you only frequent our neck of the woods when we vacate it?

    I 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 :-)
