Birthday treats

Since we had other committments on my birthday, we deferred treats and excursions until the Thursday after. The plan - if you can call it a plan - was to rise at our leisure, shop at the Farmers' Market (it being the third Thursday of the month), lunch on whatever purchases we saw fit, and then go to Yorkshire and find whatever entertainment would fit the time available before we were due to meet David at the Lion, dine with him and return home thereafter.

The reality was that we woke early, and set to do some work before going out. So we were home to take a call about an internet scam we hadn't encountered before - a particularly cheeky one, I thought. Then to the Farmers' Market, which was rather disappointing: there seem to be fewer stalls each month. Stocked up on meat, and some vegetable, but nothing really tempted us for lunch, and we decided to set off, and treat ourselves to lunch at the Cleveland Tontine on the way south.
