It was my birthday, I turned 30 at 7.30pm

Nearly 32 hours earlier however I received a surprise..

Friday . 4/7/3 . 12.00 hours . My House . Sandbach
There was a knock on my door, opening it I found:

They’d come to stay the weekend, it was a surprise they’d been planning for weeks with Claire.

I had a fan..tastic weekend, some of the highlights are listed below:

Friday . 4/7/3 . 16.00 hours . Kwik Save . Sandbach
We went to buy alcohol, Mojo suggested we spend 40 quid on a bottle of Tia Maria, a bottle of Baileys, and a bottle of Archers.  We did just that.

Friday . 4/7/3 . 16.05 hours . My House . Sandbach
Arriving back at mine, we realised we didn’t actually want any of the drinks we’d bought

Friday . 4/7/3 . 16.20 hours . A pub . Sandbach
Lots of drinking, mixed with some mooching

Friday . 4/7/3 . 18.30 hours . Kwik Save . Sandbach
Back in Kwik Save, buying more alcohol, this time stuff we actually wanted to drink

Saturday . 5/7/3 . 15.00 hours . The Donkey Derby . Sandbach
We visited the Sandbach Donkey Derby, whilst there:

I suspect the stall was actually intended for kids (the person stood next to me in the (now missing) photo gives a good indication of the age of everyone else in the queue) 🙂

We watched some ferret racing, the one pictured (photo now missing) came last.

Saturday . 5/7/3 . 19.12 hours . The Railway Station . Sandbach
We missed the train

Saturday . 5/7/3 . 20.00 hours . The Edgerton Arms . Chelford
Our venue for the evening, Claire works here.
We ate, (after an initial vegetable incident), we drank, lots, and Claire brought me out a surprise birthday cake, to the chorus of Claire’s workmate singing HAPPY Birt-h-d-…. before it turned into an embarrassed mumble 🙂

I got very drunk, I had a great night 🙂

Saturday . 5/7/3 . 23.37 hours . The Railway Station . Chelford
We made it to the last train in time.

Sunday . 6/7/3 . 10.00 hours . The Outside my House . Sandbach

Sarah (friend of Claire’s) “Hi mcphee, Happy Birthday, I was in on your surprise (the cake) …oh you don’t know about that yet?, sorry”
