Holly's actual birthday; school's out and both Helen and I had taken a day off. Presents in the morning before a special trip into town with Helen for ear piercing at Jenners.Later, we headed to Foxlake near Dunbar, a ropes course similar to Go Ape and its ilk, but without harnesses and over water - you slip, you take a dunking. Marvellous fun, and there's a POV video in the pipeline.
As a special treat, Helen put together a splendid birthday dinner based on Holly's requests - scallops & pancetta on puy lentils to start, then hake and polenta chips with purple sprouting broccoli, and chocolate bread and butter pudding as a dessert. It was lovely. She certainly has more sophisticated tastes than I did when I was 11!
