Its my birthday and I'll cry if I want to.

Jan 1st is my birthday as many may know. Yesterday we celebrated by going to the Ship Inn in Milford. Its a British Pub of sorts and we tried various fare such as "Tiddy Oggy" , Lancashire Pie, Scottish Eggs, and Shepards Pie with piccadelli, oh and very greasy fish n chips. There were a group of people there called Morris Dancers who dress rather oddly (lots of ribbons and bells on their legs ) and skip and frolic about, flipping scarves in the air and bashing each other with long sticks. There was much noise and merriment and I thought Hunter was going to explode he was laughing so hard. At one point we were invited to take part as in " oh birthday girl come join us". I felt very lucky and happy to have such a nice birthday with my family. Great way to start the new year!
