thank you to all of you - Thanks to Ann as well for the splendid cake and as seekeerz says, it's a gem.
Got a bbq down at my eldest sister's today, overlooking the Fal estuary, my middle sister and her tribe here plus my niece from my youngest one, plus best friends and their daughter (my goddaughter) and her fiancé - plus their four small cocker-spaniels. Before the bbq, we'll probably go out to St Agnes as the fiancé has never been to Cornwall so some north coast sand and surf is an essential..... Later on, water-borne over to here
