MUM Hello Marianne and Brian Thank you for the phone calls and birthday message photo. I have had a great weekend. Starting at the Office on Friday - with the table all set out lovely with birthday cake, pink champagne, and lovely presents from them all - of a digital radio and john paul galtier perfume and body lotion. At Theresas house that night with all the family, a lovely night. Then Aarons Christening on Sat morn with the two families, and the Eglinton Arms at night for a meal with everyone. What a great day. Anyway it is great to keep up with you both on the blog, and see how well and happy you both are. What a big difference that makes to us here at home. Speak soon. Love you. Mum xxxxxx
