A Lovely pre-70th Birthday Weekend

We made our way to Lianne and Dave's house. When we arrived we found the front door was decorated with balloons with a large sign saying Happy Birthday. Of course the penny never dropped, and I did not associate this message with my forthcoming birthday.  We then enjoyed a very welcome cup of tea, and spent a great time playing with our Ronny, and catching up with Lianne and Dave and all the news.

Lianne then produced some birthday cards and mysterious parcels and Ronny and I slowly opened them, to reveal an array of presents for my 70th birthday. Suddenly there was a feeling of suspense as Lianne appeared from the kitchen door carrying a beautifully iced birthday cake with candles burning on top. I took a deep breath, and with the help of Ronny I managed to blow the candles out and make a wish. We then enjoyed munching huge slices of home-made birthday cake with smiles on all our faces.

 Lianne had plans for us all to visit a Thai festival in Poole Park featuring the food and culture  of the country of Thailand, a beautiful country that we have all visited in the past.
  We arrived at Poole Park in glorious sunshine. There were crowds and crowds of people moving around a tented area that was full of multi-coloured flags and bunting. There was a mini fun-fair in full swing.
  We strolled past a stage that had music blaring from a couple of loud speakers. Many people, native to Thailand were present, and the colours of the traditional Thai costumes were wonderful to see. There were also many individual tents preparing and selling traditional Thai food.
  We headed for some tables and chairs and ordered and consumed a wonderful authentic Thai lunch. I enjoyed a traditional Thai green curry and rice, that brought back vivid memories of our overnight stop in a hotel in Bancock
