Birthday Treat

This is called the New Roundhouse. a little hideaway restaurant hidden in lovely grounds in Thorington Suffolk...

Not so hideaway as we knew nearly all dining this lunchtime so it got rather friendly. I also had Happy Birthday sung to me by my dear neighbour Joyce...

Ivan took Dive and Phil and myself there for my birthday treat today.....Dive has all the food pics no doubt they will appear at some time on his blog!!


Dive took this of the old gal!!! pretty flowers at the front!!
So I returned the favour, you can see we had a good meal!
A very reluctant Phil who hates having his photo taken!
Ivan found some holiday makers to chat to, while Phil looked upwards!
Could not resist this one of the chestnut bark...

Thanks for a really lovely day folks.....

Thank YOU for choosing such a lovely place to celebrate your birthday!

It was nice that so many of your friends and neighbours were there, too; the poor waitresses were kept busy.

The food was excellent! I'll definitely be going back and I'll take Katie there, too.

Happy Birthday!
xx

Oh, I was right---Happy Birthday to you and here's a wish for many more. What a festive time you had. Your birthday picture is wonderful.

Looks like you had a splendid time for your Birthday (and yes, I got a sneak peak at all the yummy food photos)! What a beautiful location for a special celebration. And what a delight I'm sure it was for you that both your sons were there to help you celebrate (aren't they sweet!) as well as your friends. Happy Birthday!

What fun to see pictures of the birthday celebration. You're lucky to have your sons close and Ivan as well, to help celebrate occasions.

I love the Roundhouse and can hardly wait to see the food photos.

Many happy returns...you're looking GREAT!
