Thanks to all for the kind wishes and messages 
After a bit of pressie opening (note to all those with loved ones with a Christmas time birthday ... non-Chrissy paper is always appreciated
), went out to Alnwick to the Saturday market and a wander around. Surprisingly very quiet considering it was the last Saturday before Christmas Day.
Bought some nice framed wildlife photos from a local Photographer (Red Squirrel, Robin and a Fox) from the market and browsed the local Bookshop and Charity shops (can always find interesting things in the Charity shops ) and got some interesting things to read for the future.
Bought a Subway Footlong to take away (they do a very nice Meatless Phillysteak for anyone who fancies a nice non-meat sandwich) and headed home.
Detour off the A1 due to what looked like a pretty bad accident one car badly managed on one verge and another into the greenery on the opposite side of the road. Will not be a pleasant Festive season for those occupants and their families . Don't know the circumstances but this time of year drinking too often involved with car accidents.
Back home and had an interesting meal. I say interesting as it was something that I have been looking for for quite a few years after turning Veggie ..... used to love having Ham, Egg and Chips for a pub lunch, but there has not been a decent non-meat Gammon around - spotted one at Morrisons last week and got it for my birthday dinner. Was very passable not as tasty as the 'real thing' but still nice.
Then watched a bit of TV .... I know how to live!

Now one book I got for my Birthday from Linda was a real find (she found it on the Village Hall bookshelves, where people donate unwanted and take others away to read).
It was " The Beautiful Poetry of Donald Trump" (see here - https://amzn.to/3TxHaCQ )
I took it with me and perused it in the pub at Alnwick when we stopped off for a break. A Big man came up to me in the bar. Big Strong Man, and he had tears in his eyes. He said "Sir, that book is filled with the best poetry I have ever read."
(Now anyone who follows Donald Trump and his sayings will get the truthfullness of the whole of the above pub event )
