After the candles were blown out, we enjoyed piece of cake whilst Grandad opened his gifts!
The gift from Josh's parents. Grandad also had chocolates from Ben,a Welsh rugby jersey from us and whole lot of other e-mails, cards and vouchers that we made him open and we displayed on the mantle piece. Along with a trip to Switzerland and Scotland to see some of Irene's family whilst he is over here.
After lunch we went to a little town called Lavenham, with these beautiful old buildings, and had a beer at 'The Swan', an old RAF pub from the 14th century.
Rickey the black Lab - he looks just like Benson!
In the afternoon, we took Rickey for a walk on the farm, there is a big duck pond, that we took him to and of course he went in!
When we went for a walk Grandad and Josh stayed and sat in the bird watching hut you can see in the background of the photo and shut the door, hoping that we wouldn't notice they hadn't joined us on the walk!

In the evening we went out for dinner to the local pub - really nice food, most of us enjoyed a steak.
Enjoying the birthday whiskey after dinner - well Josh and Grandad were anyway!
On Saturday, we had a nice relaxing day, we began the day by talking a walk around the abbey gardens and market at Bury St Edmund. Then spent the afternoon watching sport!
On Saturday afternoon we watched Wales beat Ireland in the rugby - Granddad's wearing his new jumper in support! We then watched Scotland beat England - which Irene was more than happy about (she's a Scottish supporter).
The Men, catching up on the weeekend news on Sunday morning. In the afternoon we had some guests round and a lovely roast lunch that Irene cooked. We headed back on the train about 7pm, having enjoyed a lovely relaxing weekend.
