My older son and his wife were leaving to go back to the UK that day, so it was all a bit of a rush. But we did go for a restaurant lunch. They got me a pair of fancy zip-up insulated gardening boots as a present. I would never have dreamed of spending so much money on boots for myself! No cake...but it was a lovely lunch. The owners of the restaurant - who allow Forgy to come in with us and know us quite well - put some candles on my dessert and sang "Happy birthday" in English!
The alpacas are doing well, thank you. Shearing time is coming up (which we do to stop them getting too hot in the summer).
