Evening All.
Home safe by 20:00, Jordan fell asleep as we climbed towards The Cat & Fiddle.
I have to admit the return drive was a little awkward with the rain and my rather damp eyes. I'm still shaking with the shock. Of course if you did not attend you will not know of which I am drivelling about.
We had a fair old crowd for what was supposed to be a North West Mini Meet, usually three or four cars. Biggin Hall did us proud but that is not unexpected, really good find Mark.
What I didn't know until after I'd arrived that I had been gang upped on. People had decided that they wanted to celebrate my 80th in grand style. I was oblivious of the machinating going on behind my back, messages contacting my family to make sure that I attended.
Oh bugger it, let's be frank,
It was the biggest surprise of my life, took my breath away, gave me palpitations, I'll never be the same again.
I even landed up with a ride in the fastest shed!!!
I thank you all, for the surprise, the prezzies, your attendance, your thoughts and the Birthday Cake. Now that was a cake. I've promised the engine section to the beautiful MJ. That is I ever manage to cut into it.
Words fail me.


There must be a way to make photos stand up!!!!

It couldn't have happened to a better person Ray. You're an inspiration to us whippersnappers, and long may it continue... Are you now the official club mascot?

I'll be happy to be anything you want me to be.
With friends like you lot I'm OK with anything as long as it does not include me perching at the top of a pole after stuffing me.


I prefer Apple Sauce to Stuffing!

It was a bit of a worry that you might drop out at the last minute and that we'd all have to commemorate your Birthday without you!

Plan B would've been to send you the photos as we ate your cake and opened all your presents.

Fortunately, plan A went rather well


It was a very enjoyable day with great company. Thanks to Jim and Neil for helping to organise it (the inclusion of the Fastest Shed was a brilliant idea and a great addition Neil!).
