The reluctant dinner guest seen here conducting without a baton had cheered up and accepted his lot!
He had been grumpy during the journey to the pub. He took exception to being forced to change out of his beloved jeans, from not knowing where he was going and not being allowed to drive. He got in the car declaring 'I don't like surprises'.
Once he realised the guests were just close family he cheered up. His brother and sister in law from Yorkshire were not able to come down to be with us. Sonia had unfortunately slipped and fell, breaking her hip in two places. She had unwittingly sprung the surprise the night before so 'himself' knew we were going out to a party but that was all.
Sean and Dawn had picked up Darrin and Jason and my main gift for him. The laptop he had been wanting. That cheered him up even more. My sister, brother in law and my Mum completed the guest list.
The Pub, The White Hart at Ufford, is a lovely 'oldy worldly' stone built pub. The bar is decorated with railway memorabilia and the seating deep leather sofas. We had a large oval table in the Orangery part of the restaurant. The food was really good and the service efficient and friendly. Definitely a pub to revisit and to be recommended. We had a really enjoyable and pleasant evening

Sounds like a great night!
We need a pic of himself using the laptop!
Will it have wireless internet, so he can use it in front of the telly? A must, I think!
