The birthday turned out to be a great day, but it was the type of day when everything seemed to go awry! There's been much sickness and general craziness at the house so Dad, Olan & I escaped to one of our favourite towns and walked the dikes that stretch out across the mudflats. We had a fantastic time and Olan was thrilled with the waving grass that was often as tall as he was. There is something so magical as a child, to hide so completely from the world around you. The sound of the waving, rippling grass was incredible. We wrapped the day up with a delicious meal of haddock and birthday pie. Happy Birthday Grandpa!!!
