My Dad’s birthday today, so congrats to him on his 72nd. I spoke to him on the phone earlier, and agreed with him that 72 is a good number. Following a serious illness a few years back, he has recovered wonderfully well, and seems to have lots of energy. Long may it continue.

My Dad shared the same birthday as his Mum. She is no longer with us, but she would have been 100 today. Here’s to you Nan. Not with us any longer, but not forgotten.
