Birthday Treats


We have just had a delightful night away, a treat for my birthday.

a fabulous setting
pre dinner drinks in the riverside gazebo
A fantastic meal
good company
A birthday cake (came with a kiss from the chef oh la la)
Breakfast in the gazebo

What more could a girl ask for? Well…. This is my 65th Birthday and I am one of the generation of women who thought we would get our state pension at 60. But it kept being put back and put back and finally last week I had my first payment, £17.64! Now I know I retired a little early but that really doesn’t seem like enough for all those years of work. Luckily investigations revealed that the first payment only covered a day or two, and that next time I would get a full month’s payment. Which should be nearly enough to pay for the increased Boat Club membership fee.

  2. Hi Elaine,
    I do believe you had a birthday, but I don’t believe the number. What a girl will say to get a pension. Anyway congratulations from Barbara & Brian
