You are one of the wittiest fellows here and you are impecably dressed looking like a gentleman's gentleman.

Have a happy one.

Happy Birthday!!!!!!! --FLO--

Calmeilles I hope you had a Happy Birthday. I enjoy reading your posts and your perspective on many issues. I agree that both your dress and posts are that of a gentleman. I look forward to more of your postings throughout the years.

happy birthday!

Calmeilles,

Happy birthday!

I'd like to send my belated wishes to you for your Birthday. I've asked Mrs Bridges if she'd do a cake for you but she's a bit adrift these days. Anyway have a great Bank Holiday Weekend and enjoy the sunshine.

My very best wishes.

He guys, gals and others as you choose or find yourselves.

Thank you all very much for your good wishes. I wasn't around to say so at the time because I took family and friends off to a cottage (http://www.flickr.com/photos/mymuk/3477424938/) in the country to celebrate with dinner in an historic house (http://www.flickr.com/photos/steve_brac ... 423826441/). No net (not even much mobile phone coverage) so I'm only just catching up.

I great time was had by all (or so they tell me). A friend set up his camera to take some time lapse photography of the party, quite unknown to me, and put this together http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLiKBTtmpPk it's only 40 seconds long.

I cooked (http://groups.google.com/group/uk.food+ ... 186d16b5be) and cooked and cooked again. The waved goodbye to everyone and had a blissful four days of doing nothing but walking the lanes and reading. http://www.flickr.com/photos/calmeilles/ the pics from "Walk" on that page to "Blossom" on the next are the relevant ones.

PS Yes, Mac, I hope I was smart, white tie and tails for the big dinner. I do need to find one of my friends who took a picture of me in them!
