Let me hear you scream

Yesterday was A's 40th birthday - and his birthday treat was a trip to Alton Towers (without the children!). We had a fantastic time, and together rode Air, Nemesis, Rita Queen of Speed, Corkscrew and Oblivion. A also had a go on Submission and Ripsaw (where he got soaked!) Lunch was rather delicious BBQ chicken and ribs at Rita's Bar and Grill.
Later on we collected the children and went to meet up with A's brother, SIL and their girls at a new playground on Otterspool Prom. The children had a good play, then we shared out A's birthday cake. We finished off with our favourite take out from the Gulshan. A pretty perfect day.
