oh my! thank you friends, for all your wonderful birthday wishes. I’m having a wonderful time here in the UK.
The day started with a tradition that began over 50 years ago. Since i was 5, when off to school, out of the door at 8:30am, the time of my birth… I would stand at our front door, and jump over the step, calling out the age i was then the age I was like ”now i am 5 and now i am 6”
Today, as my parents are about to move out and sell their home, this was my last chance…
This morning, with my parents i called out “now i’m 57! now i’m 58”!!
I can’t remember when i was last home for this tradition.
Over the years, since leaving home, i’ve often taken a photo and sent to mum and dad, wherever i was in the world. In recent years i’ve been able to Facetime them which has been fun.
Today was special, in person, with parents, at my childhood home, on my way to class (teaching near London), tks to husband, Joe, for taking the photos
FYI some friends have asked about my Birthday Fundraiser. This is the best link, and some more information about St Jude.
