Today was Julie's birthday and also a bank holiday.

About lunch time we headed to the Swan pub in Walton to meet the rest of the family to celebrate Julie's birthday.

We spent a lovely day sitting in the sun, enjoying catching up with family and eating a rather splendid pub lunch.

Once again it was an absolute treat to catch up with everyone and there was plenty of chat about the upcoming adventure to Italy.

We are having a quiet evening tonight and tomorrow we head off to the Peak district.

Not sure what Internet access we will have so there might not be any news until Friday when we return.

P.S it was at least 24 degrees today :)
