How to make your wife's birthday special

Today is my wife's birthday and so:

she had breakfast in bed
Then I took her to some nice outdoor location:

Glascote Cemetery
And then took her for a meal (and it was superb - the food was fantastic):

This is a brilliant place to eat!
And then I took her to a bookshop (well actually I left her outside in the car but I wasn't more than twenty minutes):

(and she did have a coat she could wear!)
And then I bought her some boots:
And took her for a cream tea:
Even saw the Curate and his wife there!
And then popped into one of Tamworth's bestest retail outlets:
Where I bought a new rod for her to use!
And then we went home.

Now, who says that we clergy don't know how to show the better half a good time on their birthday for goodness sakes?

Are they taking bets on whether you'll still be around by her next birthday?

Vic, having known you for a few years now, your wife must be amazed at the thought you have put into this years birthday. I am surpriesed that you have not talked about her birthday card!!

How many parishioners did you encounter on the journey? Being alone is the hardest bit!

Actually - apart from seeing the Curate and his wife we saw neither parishioner nor colleague. A marvel in itself.
Mind you the whole episode was crammed into a gap which was abutted by funeral at the beginning and pastoral encounters at the other and so it wasn't the whole day. Not sure I would have been able to say the same had it been longer :-)

And Ray, am pretty sure I'll still be around - it was a good fishing rod :-)

They did remember to get me a cake this year - home made even! However, when I walked into the kitchen later, I thought a bomb had dropped!!!!
