ah yes, the birthday boy.






and the birthday cake!







matthew and his adoring fans...
and yes, he is pulling a face.






this is the day before his birthday.. at lunch in Eton - a very posh place, right across a bridge from
Windsor.. where we spent most of the day. 
The queen's standard was flying over Windsor Castle, meaning the queen was in residence there!










the queen's swans.
in the thames.










this is me, burning my tongue horribly.






and this is.. though its hard to tell, a crooked building - the crooked tea rooms.
with matthew leaning along with the building.






..me at dinner, spanish tapas, very nice, but it was very cold there..








..we had a very nice time, of course.



on to the halloween pictures..
