Trika’s drizzly birthday

While the rest of us enjoyed mulled wine, cha mpagne cocktails, Karen’s famous veggie chili and Stephen Bean’s delicious cake.

For some reason there were surfers on it. I forget why.

Just before hypothermia set in, we dismantled the decorations, loaded them in a wheelbarrow – and headed to the pub!
