Sheep's birthday party! He spends the night before in the Sheraton Skyline at Heathrow Airport, testing out their new club lounge - as always, taking advantage of the wireless network to keep a keen eye on his website.

The quickest (and, arguably, most expensive) way of getting into London from Heathrow Airport. Sadly, Pat is suffering from the after effects of a nasty fall in a Restaurant we visited a few days ago, but at least Willard has somewhere to perch. However, something is wrong, WIllard looks around a realises this is not quite the refined environment he's used to.....

The refined choice of entertainment seems somehow appropriate for the style of evening we are expecting - har-pist!

DSCN3593.jpg View Now Sheep's Birthday - Willard goes to London to honour the first birthday of the World's premier travel SHEEP	Dimensions: 640 x 480 Size: 51.6 kB Date: 06/13/2006	Willard quickly says hello to the Brithday Sheep, who had requested that the event be a "black tie" event, little realising (and neither did his companion Jenbel!) that WIllard would never think of letting down his favourite Sheep on his first birthday!

This has got to be the best beefburger Willard has ever seen, and it comes with everything but a signed statement from the cow certifying that it led nothing but a healthy life!

His new friends Pyeinthesky and Heathrow777 keep him company as the birthday crowd proceed to take over the bar!
DSCN3599.jpg View Now Sheep's Birthday - Willard goes to London to honour the first birthday of the World's premier travel SHEEP	Dimensions: 640 x 480 Size: 46.3 kB Date: 06/13/2006	And Sheep and Willard find themselves in the middle of an ever growing mountain of empties! Champagne bottles are dropping dead like flies! This is worse than a full house at the Concorde Room in Heathrow!
DSCN3600.jpg View Now Sheep's Birthday - Willard goes to London to honour the first birthday of the World's premier travel SHEEP	Dimensions: 640 x 480 Size: 35.3 kB Date: 06/13/2006	Willard has been looking forward to meeting his hero wudy15!

I don't think there is a lounge anywhere in the world now which Sheep cannot breeze into!
Dscn3605.jpg View Now Sheep's Birthday - Willard goes to London to honour the first birthday of the World's premier travel SHEEP	Dimensions: 640 x 571 Size: 53.1 kB Date: 06/13/2006	Willard, meanwhile seems to have found another friend - and the intense heat seems to have caused him to strip off another layer, or at least, that seems to be his excuse.
Dscn3610.jpg View Now Sheep's Birthday - Willard goes to London to honour the first birthday of the World's premier travel SHEEP	Dimensions: 480 x 640 Size: 44.2 kB Date: 06/13/2006	Many people said next day that Champagne, Pimms and Lemonade, and Gin and Tonic did not mix very well, but Willard can confirm that at the time it dissapeared very, VERY quickly!!
DSCN3615.jpg View Now Sheep's Birthday - Willard goes to London to honour the first birthday of the World's premier travel SHEEP	Dimensions: 640 x 480 Size: 36.7 kB Date: 06/13/2006	But the refills arrived equally quickly, and suddenly Sheep and Willard have another Jug to keep them company.
DSCN3614.jpg View Now Sheep's Birthday - Willard goes to London to honour the first birthday of the World's premier travel SHEEP	Dimensions: 640 x 480 Size: 36.3 kB Date: 06/13/2006	But all too soon it seems to be "Pimms O'Clock" and time for a little snooze. It's a good job Willard lined his stomach with that wonderful Burger, or heaven knows what might have happened!
DSCN3617.jpg View Now Sheep's Birthday - Willard goes to London to honour the first birthday of the World's premier travel SHEEP	Dimensions: 640 x 480 Size: 48.4 kB Date: 06/13/2006	Sheep wonders why anyone would think that a jar of Mint Sauce would be an appropriate birthday present for a young Sheep. Luckily Mummy Jenbel would not tell him WHY it was so inappropriate!
Dscn3620.jpg View Now Sheep's Birthday - Willard goes to London to honour the first birthday of the World's premier travel SHEEP	Dimensions: 380 x 640 Size: 36.5 kB Date: 06/13/2006	And Sheep and Willard have killed off yet more bottles of Champagne, and it looks like flyclub has just seen the bill!
DSCN3625.jpg View Now Sheep's Birthday - Willard goes to London to honour the first birthday of the World's premier travel SHEEP	Dimensions: 640 x 480 Size: 28.9 kB Date: 06/13/2006	And so, all too soon, we find ourselves leaving (did I hear someone say "Turfed out of") All Bar One, and on our way to the Le Meridien Piccadilly, as guests of the ever gracious Pyeinthesky, who has offered his room up as a venue to continue the party.
DSCN3626.jpg View Now Sheep's Birthday - Willard goes to London to honour the first birthday of the World's premier travel SHEEP	Dimensions: 640 x 480 Size: 40.1 kB Date: 06/13/2006	As soon as Sheep realised that the room in question was the Piccadilly Suite, he made a beeline for the most comfortable place he could find, and Jenbel had to drag him back into the living room to join the fun!
DSCN3629.jpg View Now Sheep's Birthday - Willard goes to London to honour the first birthday of the World's premier travel SHEEP	Dimensions: 640 x 480 Size: 38.4 kB Date: 06/13/2006	And so, after prizing Sheep away from the four-poster, we find ourselves in the well-appointed parlour of pyeinthesky's suite. It didn't quite manage to provide chairs for all 15 FT-ers, but it did quite a good job under the circumstances. Jimmie76 and Shuttle-Bored enjoy the anecdotes, Whilst Sheep and Willard sit on the floor with Jenbel (and no, we're not sure what she was doing either, but walking round Soho in bare feet sounds like an extreme sport to me!)
DSCN3632.jpg View Now Sheep's Birthday - Willard goes to London to honour the first birthday of the World's premier travel SHEEP	Dimensions: 640 x 480 Size: 32.8 kB Date: 06/13/2006	Flyclub doing his impression of Dirty Harry ("was that six bottles of Champagne I just ordered, or only five? Well, to be honest, in all the confusion, I kind of lost count myself, so the question is, do you feel lucky?")
Dscn3634.jpg View Now Sheep's Birthday - Willard goes to London to honour the first birthday of the World's premier travel SHEEP	Dimensions: 480 x 640 Size: 32.1 kB Date: 06/13/2006	And after Willard finally left the party (was that 2AM?) we retire for a small final libation in the Palm Court Bar, and consider the events of the evening, and Willard marvels at all the new friends he has made.
DSCN3638.jpg View Now Sheep's Birthday - Willard goes to London to honour the first birthday of the World's premier travel SHEEP	Dimensions: 640 x 480 Size: 24.7 kB Date: 06/13/2006	...But next morning, Wilard doesn't seem so active, still firmly ensconsed in bed even at 11:30 AM, and obviously feeling very, very furry inside and out! It's OK Willard, we've booked a late check-out, you can sleep in a little more! Fin.
