A Heartfelt Thanks!

For all the support , good wishes , prayers,vibes, white lights - all we have received from our fellow bloggers in the last six months, a sincere thank you and if you don't mind we're going to hang on to them for the time being.
On the birthday we were both feeling a bit limp, so postponed any serious revelling. After getting a bit weepy at the hairdresers- when one is at one's most vulnerable I think, G suggested the Stag at Dunster was good for a pub lunch but the parking was a way from the pub so we drove on.
First though I walked down the lane - remembering how pretty it was when we took mum and dad there years back

The three photos below are down the lane from the Stag at Dunster. The skies were overcast so it all looks a bit dark
.





Eventually we reached Timberscombe and decide to sample The Lion which we hadn't visited for some years. Well worth it - it was warm , cosy and the food was good.

I admired the excellent photographs. Mine host told me the rider below was killed some weeks back, in a tragic riding accident.






The photos are being restive. Two have escaped and Timberscombe church is out of place. Next time we'll visit it.
Yesterday I had lunch with the girls and gave way to MTL's blandishments to choose some earrings for my birthday. I found some plain gold studs I liked. Feeling a bit decadent I then bought three sets of pretty underwear - long overdue! A cheque for Comic Relief has partially salved my conscience.
