I've been out tonight to get a new top for it.
They are having a live band but Eden's singing a set with her guitar when the main band are having a break.
So, what do you get for a present?
I have been racking my brains! I didn't want to get the usual flowers, bottle of wine or chocolates.
My brother and sister in law go to this place quite a lot.
It's run by an old schoolfriend of ours and her partner.
They do an afternoon tea which includes sandwiches, scone, cake and tea or coffee, so as it's one of their favourite places I thought I would get them a voucher for one.
Their PR picture for it
Our friend is actually in the picture pouring the tea!
So we thought we'd pay them a visit to go and get the voucher.
I have already wrapped it up but I should have taken a picture because what they do is make the voucher up on their computer with a picture of their pub/restaurant and on it it says that the voucher is for Sally to have an afternoon tea for two to celebrate her 50th birthday and it is signed with all our names on it and then laminated.
It looks so much better than a paper voucher that you put in a card.
I had a couple of ciders and regretted it during the early hours of this morning as I had a really vivid nightmare which I found it hard to get back to sleep from.
Some of you may noticed that I commented on your posts about 3am this morning! That's what I was doing whilst trying to rationalize that the dogs would go ballistic if somebody tried to enter our house as somebody did in my dream!
Malc also reiterated that before he went back to his snoring!!
Eden and I have made some birthday cards for Sally today, again I've forgotten to take pictures!
Clark is back by midday tomorrow and he will probably to have at least a couple of baths to get rid of the field he's camping in before we go out tomorrow night.
So be warned lots of pictures of us in our gladrags on the next post!
I find I get nightmares when I drink wine... It's so hard to get back to sleep if they are particularly vivid. What a thoughtful gift for your friend, that is so lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your comments Carol. It was lovely to wake up to them all.
DeleteI'm going to drink something else at the party tonight, just not sure what yet!!
It sounds like you've got a fabulous night in store, and you've got the perfect gift for your sister in law. It's always such a treat to go out for afternoon tea. I usually have very strange dreams, but I hate having nightmares, they always seem so real in the middle of the night.
ReplyDeleteIt was great Jo and she's shown me pictures of the afternoon tea. She loved it x
DeleteCake! I kind of distracted by the picture there. Thank goodness the Bake off is starting again soon. Happy birthday to your sister in law and welcome her to the 50 club!
ReplyDeleteThanks Em. A couple of years and I'll be joining that club too! X
