Birthday meet at Owlers April'11

25 April 2013: We took a trip up the M1 to join Rose for Sally's 61st birthday celebration, at Owlers in Hebden Bridge. 

The weather was excellent and we all ate outside.

It has been an amazingly sunny April and it's lucky that Rose and Paul installed their solar panels beforehand. The new extension is great, blending in well with the existing house.

Despite the rainless April, the 6000 litre garden water tank is continually replenished from the spring on the hill behind, and keeps the Owlers garden growing well.
