30 years old, and still looking good.



What an excellent birthday! Clare took me on a mystery journey, which involved driving, walking, the train and the tube, and ended up at the London Eye (I've never been on it before!). As soon as we arrived we bumped into my Mum and Dad, Clare's Mum and Dad, Kev, Suzanne, Rich, Claire and the girls (amazing coincidence?). So we took a trip on the big wheel, saw lots of good views, and had a great time.

We then stopped by the Tate Modern, and wandered up to Belgo's in Covent Garden for a bite to eat. When being shown to our table I recognised Josh sitting on the end of it. It then slowly dawned on me that the whole table was filled with 26 of my friends, some of which I've not seen in years. I was overcome! We had some excellent muscles and Belgian beer, and continued the party later at the Porter House.

Thanks to everyone who came along, and most of all to Clare, who has been scheming and plotting behind my back for months! I should really change my gmail password...

Happy Birthday old boy. Glad we could be there to share the day with you. Speaking of looking good - where was that cake!? Was I in the lou at the time?

Happy birthday, Richard. I remember being at your 13th, while visiting England from Germany-- seems like we ate at Pizza Hut to celebrate. Your best years are ahead of you. Also,in my opinion, men only get BETER-looking as they pass 30!

Oops, I really do know how to spell "better."

Hi Richie!

I'm really sorry that I couldn't make your birthday - I was due to come down but couldn't make it in the end. I was hoping to catch up with you! Anyway, hope that you had a great day and I'll give you a shout next time I'm in the midlands!!
