Andrew Sterry 40th...

Last Saturday Stu, Bron, Jimmy, Debbie, Jim, Jamie, Pip, Fay, me and a hundred other people descended upon Ocean Beach in Southend-on-Sea to help Andy celebrate his 40th birthday by throwing a party. Open bar, great food (fish head included), dancing and family flash mob all made it a night to remember. Jagerbombs and dips in the sea added to the fun.

It's been a month of 40th birthday parties - all of them fabulous. First we had Nat's in Upminster. Then Kel's in lovely Southend-on-Sea. And finally Pip's on Eel Pie Island. He's one photo from each.

Southend on Sea...

Last weekend Stu and I went to Southend on Sea. It was Fay's birthday on the Saturday night (more on that later) but on the Sunday we took a trip along the pier. Longest one in the world apparently, 1.35 miles. It has a train - which we took out - and then we walked back. Nicer than I thought it would be!
Kerry and Fergal then treated us to some lunch and we had a nice catch-up.
