The birthday shenanigans started out last Saturday, when Alan and myself had a joint birthday meal at Strada in Richmond. It was good fun and I had a blast. It then stopped (the birthday celebrations, not the fun) and restarted on Wednesday (my actual birthday).
I got loads of gifts, and messages (mainly on facebook), just to be polite I'm going to list the gifts I got.
- Ghost Whisperer seasons 1 - 3 on DVD
- NCIS seasons 1 & 2 on DVD
- a photo album set
- spices and herbs
- a cook book
- lots and lots of books (including How to Poo at Work)
- a DKNY watch
- a ticket to Derren Browns Enigma
- money
- an amazon gift card
- some hair clips
- a slanket
- some bath stuff
We have our Christmas Meal here every Christmas and I really enjoy it. The dining area is seperate from the bar area, and very tastefully decorated, I personally love the huge mirror on the wall and the chandelier.
The food I've had there each time I've been (4) has been really good (quality and price) and I heartily recommend it to anyone who ventures into Twickenham, although, I can't comment on the food served during a rugby match day at Twickenham.
I had a Charcuterie Board with Salami, Ham and Chirizo, Chutney, Pickles and Almonds, followed by a sirloin steak (still moo-ing) and fries.
Daniel had the chicken wings with blue cheese dip, the Wagyu Beef burger (only £13.50!!!!) and fries and a sticky toffee pudding (which was AMAZING - I had some....)
We also shared a bottle of red wine (a Rooiberg) which was extremely nice (can be drunk with food or on its own)
Overall I've had an immense birthday. If you want to purchase me a belated birthday present, then you can do so here.

Did you steal anything?
I've been past The Albany 1000's of times but never been in there. Might have to give it a try now.
