Twenty-One

A very wild night, the weather not appreciated by Bailey who was barking in his crate at 3 and 5 and 7-ish. I did go down to him at 3 but ignored him the rest of the time and he did settle. Still wild all day today and I've just experienced it on dog walks. Everyone else had to travel to the birthday celebrations with one journey being particularly bad. And with the reports for the other side being so awful, Mum and Dad have stayed when they had planned to go back.

In spite of the weather, number two's twenty-first birthday has been duly celebrated and it has been lovely to see everyone. Some Christmas presents swapped and a plan to do the rest next Saturday. Sunshine due tomorrow and less wind for our trip back down the A1 - we hope.
