This afternoon I closed “A Knight’s Tale” with https://derrickjknight.com/2022/08/19/a-knights-tale-150-poetic-justice/
Later, Jackie drove the four of us to Spice Cottage at Westbourne where we met Becky and Ian to celebrate Becky’s birthday. The food and service was as excellent as ever – superb cooking; friendly, efficient staff; and a happy atmosphere. Kingfisher and Diet Coke were imbibed. When they discovered it was our daughter’s birthday the staff danced in singing and presented her with a chocolate dessert, which we all shared. Also passed round the table was Jackie’s camera with varying results.
These three, of Dillon, Ian, and me are acceptable, but I daren’t publish any of the others without permission.
Sounds like a fun , festive birthday celebratory meal.
Thanks very much, Pat
Happy Birthday to Becky! It sounds like a wonderful dinner and celebration.
Thank you very much, Merril
I love birthday celebrations in favourite cafes and restaurant. This celebration sounds wonderful. Happy Birthday, Becky.

Happy Birthday to Becky!!
Thanks very much, Liz
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Truly enjoy those candid shots of the three gents! We trust Becky enjoyed the festivities…
We all did, Maj. Thanks very much. The photos are Jackie’s
Happy birthday to Becky. That’s a fun exercise with the camera — have you ever tried holding the camera by a knee and pointing it in the general direction of something you’d like a picture of — another fun exercise!
Now that is something I would love to do with my rickety knees, Janet. Thank you very much.
Happy birthday to Becky … and a good time was had by all!!
Cheers, Ivor
Enjoy!!!!
Thanks very much, Geeta
Happy, happy birthday to Becky! Mighty cute pictures. And Spice Cottage is such a charming name.
Thank you very much, Laurie. Unfortunately it is more than an hour’s drive away, but it is remarkable to find one of such quality in such a small village (the roof is thatched).
It sounds like it’s worth the drive, at least on occasion.
Looks like a wonderful outing. Happy Birthday to your daughter.
Thank you very much, Andy
You’re welcome.
Happy Birthday, Becky! I like that dessert sharing thing. 🙂
Thanks very much, JoAnna

It was clearly an excellent celebration – I still marvel that we are able to do such things at last.
Indeed. The place was packed out. Thanks very much, Anne
Glad you all enjoyed yourselves!
Thanks a lot, John

YAY! What fun! Happy Birthday to Becky! 🙂

Birthday-HUGS, too! 🙂
PS…Was the Spice Cottage food spicy as in delicious spices were used to cook?
It was, indeed. Jackie’s meal was too hot for her so we ordered something else and took that home for me 🙂 X
