Getting drunk with Granny

On Saturday my grandmother turned 82. My immediate family (Mum, Dad, Kirsty and Adam, Ben and myself - Luke is in Canada), my aunt Verity and a selection of her children (Peter, Alice and Hannah), Nichola and Phil and two of theirs (Jabez and Edward - Sam is in San Francisco), Guy and Laura all made it out. We had some excellent Thai food and plenty of wine, and a generally great time. I told my grandmother she should have birthdays every year (we had all got together two years previously, but not last year), and she said I had a blasted cheek, as I wouldn't be around for the next one.
