Birthday boy

Robert's birthday.
I knitted him (at his request) Warrior in Calmer from Rowan book 39. The yarn is very soft and light weight, and so very suitable for him as he is allergic to rough wools. Here he is modelling the sweater, while opening his other presents (Bad Bird Watchers Companion, Surfacing, and a light box), and complaining about the quality of John Lewis packaging.

After the gift excitement we went out for lunch at the Dolphin in Betchworth, suggested by George, and which I can also thoroughly recommend, despite variable reviews on the web. The food was good, with main course and pudding for 2 (including a pint and a half of beer) costing £40 - I mention this as other reviews imply it is expensive.
Oh - and I thought the toilets were fine....!
