Day 109 - HB K!

What a glorious day! This may yet prove to have been the best day of the year...and I didn't even get to the golf course! For today was Mrs L's birthday and there were plenty of other things to do.

Gardening was first on the agenda: no better way to enjoy the fine weather than by being outside. A welcome break was provided by my mother, brother and greyhound who dropped by for coffee. 

Next stop was a trip out to Tescos to get some supplies in for Captain's Day next weekend. This is one of the occasions when I get called upon to provide not only the prizes but also bacon rolls before play as well as a refreshment tent on the golf course. Job done: now I need to find a way of getting everything cooled!

A quick turnaround and then up to London for some birthday celebrations with daughter, boyfriend and son. We started off with a drink on the terrace at Selfridges - a fantastic location for an afternoon drink in the sunshine. 

Thence up to the 28th floor bar in the Hilton on Park Lane. Fantastic views to both west and east combined with a very full cocktail menu. Called up an Uber to take us to our restaurant for dinner: again a very efficient service at only a fraction of the cost of a black cab. 

Dinner was at the Trinity Restaurant in Clapham. Not quite in possession of a Michelin star (yet?) this eatery has a relatively small menu yet I could have happily chosen anything from it. A good wine list too helped make the evening a most enjoyable one - and we got to walk back to the station in near daylight at 10 pm. A frightening thought that the days get shorter in only a few weeks time....
