Birthday Lunch.

My friend & fellow colleague from the agricultural show had a birthday today so we had a very enjoyable lunch in our local hostelry.

Of course as lots of you know we were in charge of the horticulture marquee for the last ten years but this year we have retired although on call to help if needed & helping to score etc on the Saturday morning so the new lady knows what to do.

Today is the day we used to judge the gardens so a bit of a coincidence it was the day we were meeting up for the birthday lunch.

Three good things:
1. A delicious meal out with a good chat ...I have done nothing today at all!!!
2. A fantastic semi final of the womens tennis which I managed to catch the final set....should have been the final!!
3. Hopefully the start of a glorious month of July.

Looks very delicious and inviting. Nice to celebrate with friends.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Happy birthday to your friend -- The lunch looks yummy & summer like --it tingles my taste buds, and a nice airy looking room !

[Alison Tomlin]

Looks very swish. Wimbledon fortnight is for sitting around surely! And then there's the Tour de France....

@beryl Tuna Melt Beryl.

[Cathy Donohoue]

Looks wonderful. Great celebration.

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

All looks delicious! I haven't done much today either because I have a bug - so could watch the tennis without feeling at all guilty. Great match and no grunting!

[Pat Knowles]

@tishpics How I agree about that!!

[Cathy]

What a blessing to have friends and be able to celebrate special days! Looks like this was a delicious celebration!

[Judith Johnson]

Terrific POV and sounds like a great day out.

[Susan Knowles]

Looks delicious. not done much here either.saving myself for walking my sister's mad dog later.

[Judith Greenwood]

Looks like a fab pub - that's handy. Relax & enjoy the show this year - tempting to go round tutting just for fun but you might get the job back! I came home to start Hoovering but an over-partied boy is fast asleep so - oh dear - I've had to leave it!

[Pat Knowles]

@judithg Reaction Judith to all that studying ...poor boy give him a bit of slack, soon be on to the next stage in life!!!

[Hazel]

That looks wonderful and relaxing and what great good things!

[Judith Greenwood]

@happypat I am - I'm not cleaning specially ;0). He does need his sleep though - turns in to a monster!

[Jane Pittenger]

Fabulous shot...love it that the food becomes a leading line into the shot

[Rick Schies]

Happy Birthday to your friend, and I think somehow you are going to be asked to help in some form

[Maggiemae]

I think its great to see lunches as a photo! Always look delicious and we can enjoy the look before the start! I forget until I am halfway through and that looks awful!

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae Yes i was pleased I had remembered before I ate!!! I took some more photos of this lovely pub which i will show tomorrow,

[Megan Joy]

That looks delicious, especially the fries (chips).

[Jan Hall]

The end of an era, I bet it will feel strange, but nice too. This looks like a nice place and that glass of nice cold white wine is making my mouth water.

[Gillian]

Looks like a lovely place to meet! Hope you don't miss being involved with the show this year.

[Linda]

Looks like a nice meal and place to meet.

[James Verdi]

Looks like a great lunch and sounds like you both enjoyed.

[Wendy]

Looks like a nice burgery lunch. My dad just won first prize for his marmalade in the local show, but is trying to decide whether to be offended because there were only two entries in that category, both were his, and he failed to come second too!
