Swinging Through The Trees

I had a grand day out today.  As part of my birthday celebrations I went to Go Ape down at Bedgebury with some friends before heading out for a Thai meal in Maidstone, watched the River Festival fireworks sitting in Ben Hawkins boat before heading to the Pig for a drink.

I have to say I was pretty pleased at getting three people actually to make it to Go Ape.  I nearly thought there would be no one to go with but with three friends saying yes it was a fun event.

Turning 30

Today I’m only a day older than yesterday but it’s my thirtieth birthday.

A quote I noticed on a card in Paperchase a while back felt very apt for today.

Inside every thirty year old is an eighteen year old asking

“what appened”

Ann Landers

When I was 18 and sharing a house in Milton Gardens in Epsom with James, Graham and Ian.  James went one evening to a friends 30’s birthday.  That friend of his must be 42 by now.  At the time the being 30 seemed a million miles off and now I’m there.
