Goldsy's 30th

May bank holiday weekend was also Mark's big birthday weekend. He was having a party near Cambridge and K & I were kindly invited.

We drove down on Sunday lunchtime and checked into a Travelodge just SW of Cambridge. We met Gareth & Helen there and Gareth drove us ten minutes up the road to the village of Fulbourn. Mark had taken over half of The White Hart for the afternoon and evening. It was warm day so many people were spilling out of the pub into the garden and this is where we set up base camp. All the usual gang were there except for Emma - Joel wasn't very well so she was looking after him, Clint nipped in for an hour but then went home to help.

Mark made a short speech where he thanked everyone for coming and said some very nice things about Naomi and all the hard work she'd put into organising the day. There was an big buffet with a huge pile of pork pies at Mark's special request. As it was his birthday, I thought I'd honour his wishes by eating as many of them as I could!

We got a taxi back to the Travelodge at about midnight - the party was still going strong, not sure what time they were kicked out. On Monday morning, K & I and G & H visited the "World Famous" Comfort Cafe for breakfast. I'm not sure that it is really as famous as it proclaims but they certainly know how to fry pig meat and all the trimmings. K & I took the country way home with the roof down all the way - the breeze meant we didn't realise how hot the sun was and we both got sunburnt but that didn't stop it being a great weekend.

Thanks Mark & Naomi. Looking forward to the 40th.
