Too young at 27?

Please excuse yet another slightly odd photo blip - it does relate to an incident that raised much amusement and mirth here today.

Being another hot day and still feeling in the holiday mood we decided to have a barbecue this afternoon. And what better way to wash down a lovely outdoors meal than with a jug of sangria?

Unfortunately we were out of red wine so myself and eldest son drove down to the local shop. He popped in to buy the wine while I stayed in the car. He came out the shop looking very bemused - they had carded him and refused to sell him the wine as he didn't have I.D. on him. It is great that they are being careful about who they are selling alcohol to but with the best will in the world, at 27 and even on a dark night he doesn't look anywhere near 18.

Imagine his embarrassment when his old mum had to go in and buy the wine for him!

I would have been chuffed to bits if they had tried to card me :)
